The platypus is uniquely adapted to live in a semi-aquatic ecosystem. It is found in freshwater creeks and rivers, within bushland, alpine or sub-tropical areas.
The ecosystem helps the platypus survive because it provides the food this animal needs. The platypus dives into creeks and rivers for its food. Its bill has sensitive electroreceptors which pick up tiny nerve and electrical impulses generated by crustaceans and other animals that inhabit the bottom of the creek or river. The platypus then uses its bill to shovel away the dirt, and find the food. It does not have teeth, but hard bony plates which it uses to grind the food.
The platypus has webbed feet which help it to swim, and which have a retracting webbed membrane which can expose the claws, enabling the platypus to effectively dig burrows in riverbanks for shelter, and the webbing membrane retracts for that purpose, but spreads between its toes when it needs to swim - which it needs to do to get its food.
During mating season, the female platypus digs a separate chamber at the end of her burrow. The eggs are laid here, and once hatched, the mother "closes off" the chamber with a wall of leaves when she leaves, to protect the young. The wall of leaves is also designed in such a way that it helps remove excess water from the platypus when she returns, thus keeping the chamber as dry as possible.
Platypuses have:
Those features are called adaptations. Adaptations are traits or behaviors that help an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
The saltwater crocodile has gills.

Adaptations.
The blue whale has several adaptations that help it survive in its habitat. They include blubber for warmth, a sleek shape for swimming and they never need to sleep.
The color of their coat helps them blend into the environment so that they can stalk prey.
Evolutionary adaptations: Traits developed over time through natural selection to help a species survive in its environment. Behavioral adaptations: Changes in an organism's behavior that help it better respond to its surroundings, such as migration or hibernation. Structural adaptations: Physical features or attributes that help an organism better function or survive in its environment, like camouflage or protective shells.
Fish have many adaptations that help them survive their environment. Their gills are part of their adaptations that helps them in respiration. Fins also come in handy for purposes of mobility.
