Lee S. Crandall’s classic book The Management of Wild Mammals in Captivity (1964) provides lots of information about the platypuses in New York (Bronx) Zoo. In summary:-
Bronx Zoo’s first platypus, a male, arrived on 14th July 1922; sadly it lived less than two months, dying on 30th August 1922.
On 28th April 1947, one male (“Cecil”) and two female (“Betty” & “Penelope”) platypuses went on exhibit in Bronx Zoo. “Betty” died of pneumonia on 6th September 1948. The other two both lived much longer, the female "went missing" on 1st August 1957; the male died on 18th September 1957.
Three more platypuses, a male and two females, arrived on 7th June 1958; these did not do well, the longest living of these died on 25th March 1959.
