Yes. Platypuses have webbed feet to give them more control when they are swimming. Platypuses spend a great deal of time in the water, diving and hunting for food, and webbed feet enable then to swim strongly underwater while they hunt.

The webbing on a platypus's feet is retractable. This means that the webbing actually pulls back to expose the claws so that the platypus can dig its burrow in the riverbank or creek bank.
