The Platypus is native to Australia and has very few natural predators. The water-rat will go after young platypuses while in their nests (burrows). After being introduced, the wild fox will attack the young when they leave the nest. The larger goannas (monitor lizards) and carpet snakes will also prey on the platypus.
