Platypuses reproduce via sexual reproduction.
Platypuses reproduce by laying eggs, which hatch into young platypuses that initially feed off mothers' milk. The platypus is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, just like the echidna, and quite unique to Australia. Platypuses lay eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow dug into a riverbank or next to a creek.
Their young, once hatched, drink milk from grooves on the mother's abdomen where it seeps from glands, rather than attaching to teats.
platypuses are strange in that way,there like mammals becaus thay nurse there young with milk but unlike mammals they lay eggs.

Platypuses, like echidnas, are monotremes, meaning they are egg-laying mammals. Baby platypuses hatch from soft, leathery eggs.

Does a fox give birth to live young?
yes, they do because they are mammals and mammals give birth to live young except platypuses. They are mammals but they lay eggs instead.
Do platypuses reproduce by laying eggs?
Yes. Platypuses are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, so they do not give birth to live young. The only other monotreme is the echidna.
Do platypuses and spiny anteaters give birth to young alive?
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
Do beavers and platypuses get along?

Do warthogs lay eggs?

Where does a platypus give birth?
Platypuses do not give birth. Platypuses are one of only two types of mammals to lay eggs. Fertilised platypus eggs stay in the mother's body for around 28 days. The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the platypus's burrow for another 10 days.
