Does every mammal give birth to live young?

Answer 1

All mammals on earth give birth to their young instead of laying eggs.

however the Duck-billed platypus from Australia is the only exeption to this, as it is the only mammal on earth that lays eggs instead of giving birth.

Answer 2

No. There are some mammals that lay eggs. These mammals are the monotremes, an ancient and unusual group of mammals comprised of the Platypus and two species of echidnas (of which there are three sub-species).

Answer 3

All mammals do in fact bear live young. This is one of the major characteristics of a mammal, which also includes being warm blooded, breathing air, and having milk for young (which is where the root "mam" comes from in mammal). Mammal also means "from the breast" which is where the milk is made.
