The oldest known platypus in captivity lived to the age of 17, but it is estimated that their lifespan is closer to 10-12 years. Little research has been done on platypuses because they are so elusive. Platypuses start reproducing from around the age of two, and they have been known to still be reproducing at age 9.

Their burrow must be above the level of the river so that they are not submerged.Young platypuses, especially, need to be above water. Many a young platypus has drowned when rising floodwaters have washed them from their burrows. At sea level water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. For every 500 feet above sea level, water boils about at 0.9F less. So at 4600 feet water would boil at 203.72 degree â¦ s Fahrenheit.
