What do platypuses do?

Answer 1

A platypus does many things. Unlike almost all other mammals, it reproduces by laying eggs. It swims, yet uses its feet also for digging burrows. It hunts for food in freshwater creeks, spending much of its waking time in the water.

Answer 2

In the evening, platypuses look for food. They are crepuscular, meaning they feed primarily at dusk and in the early morning. They are also nocturnal, meaning they continue to hunt for food during the night. They swim and dive, making as many as several hundred dives in one evening/night to find enough food.

Answer 3

During winter, a platypus does exactly what it does during summer. It hunts for food at night and shelters in its burrow during the day. The only difference is that a female platypus does not raise its young in winter.

Platypuses neither hibernate nor migrate.

Answer 4

Platypuses are nocturnal, so they spend the whole day sleeping.

Answer 5

Platypuses spend most of their time diving and swimming, searching for food, as they must eat the equivalent of their own body weight daily.

Answer 6

they sleep

this is because they are nocturnal

Answer 7

Platypuses are nocturnal. They are mostly active during the night, although they can certainly be seen swimming and hunting around dusk and dawn.
