Report a Platypus Sighting

If you have ever seen a platypus in the wild (either alive or dead), you possess information that is vital to our understanding of the status, distribution and conservation needs of the species. Therefore, please consider reporting the details of your sighting(s) to the Australian Platypus Conservancy. Use our Reporting Form

Platypus & Water Rat Reports

If you wish to keep up to date with the Platypus and Water Rat Reports, please go to our Facebook Page

Rakali – the water rat

Information about the Rakali or Australian water-rat is available via the Rakali Page. These are often mistaken for platypus, or found in similar locations.
