What are two mammals that are not placental mammals?

In: Mammals [Edit categories]

Answer:

The echidna and the platypus are non-placental mammals. They are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.

Kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, bandicoots, wombats and Tasmanian devils are just a few other non-placentals, as they are marsupials.
