It can live in land also. It is found majorly in Australia. It eats insects, and tiny things like, larvae, tadpoles, tiny crustaceans, tiny fishes also. Though fish is not in its major food list. It hunts under water, specially at night. You can see it is duck billed. there is an elector-receptor system located in the bill which helps it to detect its prey. Platypus maintains its body temperature between 31-32 degree Celsius.
There is a cartoon named "Phineas and Ferb" where they pet a platypus. Its name was Perry.

I would finish with a comment : it is an awesome creature which is a
mixture of all creatures. Its mouth is like a duck, it is a mammal but
lays eggs like a bird. Its living place is like a frog, land and water.
It is not vegetarian but doesn't eat big non-veg food. So, isn't it very
different?
