Best Answer

Platypuses are only related to seals and otters in that they are all semi-aquatic mammals. Even there, the similarity is flimsy, because seals and otters are placental mammals, whereas platypuses are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, one of only two types of such animals in the world.
