Best Answer

Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.

You do not find a domestic platypus anywhere. They are highly protected. There are very few platypuses kept in zoos or sanctuaries, as they are a very delicate creature, sensitive to environmental changes, and extremely difficult to breed in captivity.
