The Difference

Distribution of the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) in the Bombala River catchment in south-eastern New South Wales was surveyed using questionnaires. Platypuses were reported from all streams in the catchment. The majority of positive sightings were from downstream areas whereas very few positive sightings were reported from headwater areas. The difference between frequencies of headwater and downstream reports of sightings was significant. The platypus was considered common throughout the catchment.

Visual Observations

Platypuses in the Upper Hastings river catchment, near the village of Ellenborough, mid-north coast of New South Wales, occur in small numbers in pools and raceways. Visual observations of platypuses at dawn and dusk during winter-spring breeding seasons included males that wandered, mate searched and attempted forced copulations. No intrasexual aggression between males was observed. Choosy female platypuses seemed to be able to control where and when males could mate. Rare observations of aggression among female and/or juvenile platypuses during summer may have been related to resource defence. Platypuses appear to fit the scheme of 'resources influence female dispersion influences male dispersion'.
