How does a platypus obtain oxygen?

Answer 1

The platypus frog is also known as the Gastric brooding frog. Like other frogs, when they are tadpoles, they breathe using gills and a spiracle. When they have completed their metamorphosis, they breathe using lungs, and through their skin while they are in the water.

Answer 2

Being a mammal, a platypus breathes using its lungs, nostrils and respiratory system. Unlike some marine mammals (dolphins, porpoises and whales) it does not have a blowhole on the top of its head.

Answer 3

The respiration of a platypus is the same as that of all other mammals. Being a mammal, a platypus breathes using its lungs, nostrils and respiratory system. Unlike some marine mammals (dolphins, porpoises and whales) it does not have a blowhole on the top of its head.

The platypus is able to hold its breath for up to two minutes underwater when diving for food, and because of this, may make hundreds of dives in order to find enough food for a single feeding. Platypuses may also hold their breath underwater for 5-6 minutes if they are threatened.

Answer 4

Like other mammals, a platypus breathes through lungs. It has nostrils on top of its bill, and it is capable of staying underwater without breathing for up to ten minutes.

Answer 5

Platypuses respire using lungs, as all mammals do.

Answer 6

Platypuses are mammals. They breathe (respire) using a full respiratory system consisting of lungs, trachea and nose. They cannot breathe underwater.
