How many young can a platypus have?

In: Platypuses [Edit categories]

Answer:

Platypuses lay between one and three eggs at a time, once a year.
Their reproductive years extend from around age two to at least the age of nine, but because the platypus is such a shy and reclusive creature, little research has been done into the extent of their reproductive years.
