Who Are The Neighbors to the Platypus?

The Platypus really is not around too many different animals.  It feeds on small aquatic life forms and is hunted by birds, crocs and snakes.  However, the Platypus has been known to come in contact with humans.  If the person gets too close....the encounter may result in a sting.  The Platypus venom is not potent enough to kill a human but it can cause excruciating and debilitating pain for several days!
