Yes, but a young platypus feeds differently to either marsupials or placental mammals. The mother has large glands under the skin from which she secretes the milk. The milk ends up on the mother's fur, and it from this that the young platypus feeds. The milk still contains all the nutrients required for the young platypus, as it a couple of months before the baby is ready to hunt for food on the bottom of the river.
Yes; platypus young feed on mothers' milk which is secreted via glands through the platypus's fur, rather than teats. It then runs into grooves on the mother's abdomen, and the young platypuses drink from these grooves.
Yes: baby platypuses suckle from the female platypus. Platypuses are mammals, and like all mammals, they nurture their young on mothers' milk. Platypuses and echidnas (the only egg-laying mammals) do not have teats for the young to suckle, but instead the milk oozes from pores on the mother's abdomen and runs down grooves, for the young platypus to drink.
Yes. Platypuses are mammals (although unusual egg-laying mammals) and, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk.
The platypus does not suckle its young quite like other mammals do. It does not have nipples, but it exudes milk from specialised sweat glands on its abdomen.

Yes they nurse their young for about 3 months before the baby can swim and hunt on their own. they sweat it from glands under their skin.
Baby platypuses feed on mothers' milk, but the mother does not have teats. Instead, she secretes her milk through glands on her underside, and the young platypus feeds on that.
Yes. Platypuses are mammals, and like all mammals, they nurture their young with mothers' milk.
Yes.
Both the platypus and tiger are mammals and nurse their young. The platypus, however, also hatches its young from eggs (a monotreme). The tiger also hunts for food and shares it with her cubs.
baby platypus nurse for approx three to four months
Platypuses do feed their young on mothers' milk, but the young do not suckle from teats. The mother platypus secretes milk from glands on her abdomen, which the young platypus drinks, but she does not develop teats.
The Platypus is a Monotreme, or egg laying mammal. They nurse their young as do other mammals. Also they use echo location much in the same way dolphins (another mammal) do. Not all reptiles lay eggs either. Some snakes bear live young.
The young platypus stays with its mother for three to four months.
Both the platypus and the echidna are mammals which lay eggs. They are mammals because they nurse their young on mothers' milk. These species of egg-laying mammals are known as monotremes.
From the time a platypus is hatched, it is called a platypus. It makes no difference whether the platypus is a day old, 17 weeks old or a year old. It is still a platypus. There is no official name for a young platypus. Despite what many websites report, a young platypus is not called a puggle.
The platypus does not carry its young. The young platypuses remain in the chamber, deep in the mother's burrow, until they are ready to learn to hunt.
Placental mammals such as humans , dogs, and cats deliver their young from the uterus through the vagina (birth canal). Marsupials do also, but the young are much less developed and have to crawl into the mother's pouch to nurse there until grown. The platypus and echidna lay eggs like birds and reptiles, but nurse the young in burrows after they hatch.
No. Although abertosaurus may have cared for its young it did not nurse them. Only mammals nurse their young.
A young platypus starts to feed on its own after a couple of months.
yes
