What are the 3 mammals that lay eggs?

Answer 1

There are only three egg-laying mammals, which are known as monotremes: the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.

There are three sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.

Answer 2

There are three species of mammals that lay eggs: the Platypus and two species of echidna, the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea and the short-beaked echidna of Australia. (Within the echidna species, there are two sub-species.) The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater.

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 (Zaglossus 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.
