The digestive system of a platypus removes nutrients from the food consumed and breaks it down. It also removes water from food eaten and distributes it as needed throughout the body. A platypus' digestive system also enables the body to remove waste.

∙ 9y agoThe platypus's digestive system serves the same purpose as most other mammals. It removes water and nutrients from food material that are broken down for use throughout the body. Oddly enough, like many species of fish and other egg-laying mammals, the platypus does not have a stomach.
