where in tasmania does a platypus live
Platypus live only in the eastern parts of Australia. There are no populations elsewhere in the world. In Australia, the animals are found in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland to about as far north as Cooktown.latypus occupy lakes and reservoirs of various sizes, mainly feeding in water that is less than 5 metres deep. They will also sometimes reside in small man-made water bodies, such as park lakes and farm dams-particularly if these are linked directly to streams or rivers for at least part of the year.
