While
a female platypus is nursing her young, she builds a long tunnel, up to
20 metres long, ending in a nest chamber. The tunnel is plugged with earth
at several places along its length, to put off predators. The entrance
to the nursery burrow is located far above the water line, probably so
that the infant platypus inside will not drown in a flood.
