Across the continent of their natural habitat, the platypus mostly lives in freshwater lakes, rivers, lagoons, farm dams, and streams. Most platypuses are found in bodies of water that have earth banks with roots, overhanging vegetation, reeds, and logs to be more suitable for constructing their burrows.cross the continent of their natural habitat, the platypus mostly lives in freshwater lakes, rivers, lagoons, farm dams, and streams.

Habitat: 1  It is found in Australian fresh water lakes and streams. 2  When out of the water the monotreme spends its time in burrows just above the water level, in river or stream banks or under a gathering of tree roots.3  Its burrow is distinguished by oval sections and it may also have two ends of entry or exit. About half of the day is spent by the platypus feeding in the water, but it is only able to spend up to about 10 minutes underwater at a time. 2  It generally comes up for a breath after about two minutes though. 3  The rest of the day is spent on land and in its burrow in a creek or riverbank.
