Why would anyone want to? Unless "poke" is a euphemism for something else, then NO! That's just wrong.

Bobo is right about the poison spurs but you'd be lucky to see a platypus, let alone get close to poke one. If you did, it wouldn't attack; those spurs would only be a problem if you picked one up

Mind your platypus duck, Bill...mind your platypus duck...which means NO.

They have venom glands on their hind legs that can envenomate you if you're not careful. I wouldn't poke'em.
