Do mammals only ever lay eggs on land?

Yes. Most mammals give birth to live young, but those that are egg-laying do so on land. The only mammals which lay eggs - the platypus and the echidna - are known as monotremes.

The echidna actually develops a rudimentary pouch into which it lays a single egg during breeding season.
