The platypus and the echidna are both monotremes, that is, egg-laying mammals. There are actually three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater.
They are mammals because, like all mammals, they suckle their young on mothers' milk.
The only two egg-laying mammals in existence are the platypus and the echidna, which are classed as monotremes. They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.
There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
Egg-laying mammals are called monotremes. The only species of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, are the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.
Platypus and Echidna
Monotremes; the only surviving ones are the Platypus and the Echidna, only found in Australia.
Platypuses and echidnas are both mammals that lay eggs. They are known as "monotremes". They are mammals because they still suckle their young.
The platypus is the only type of mammal that lays eggs.
Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals. The Platypus and the Echidna are monotremes. They lay eggs for reproduction, and suckle their young on mothers' milk.
The platypus and the echidnas lay eggs.
