A platypus lays eggs, and the eggs hatch into tiny baby platypuses. Platypuses are mammals, despite being egg-laying. Together with the echidna, they are the only monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.
No. Platypuses, like echidnas, are monotremes, meaning they are egg-laying mammals. Baby platypuses hatch from soft, leathery eggs.
Yes. Platypuses are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, so they do not give birth to live young. The only other monotreme is the echidna.
yes, they do because they are mammals and mammals give birth to live young except platypuses. They are mammals but they lay eggs instead.
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
No, a beaver isn't related to a platypus. Even though they're both mammals, a beaver gives birth to live young while a platypus lays eggs.
Pigs, like all mammals, give birth to live young. They do not lay eggs. (Platypuses are the only mammals that lay eggs.)
Chimpanzees do not lay eggs. Chimpanzees are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are platypuses and echidnas.
rhino babies are born in eggs because they are stupid
No. Warthogs are mammals and give birth to live young. The only mammals which lay eggs are platypuses and echidnas.
Platypuses do not give birth. Platypuses are one of only two types of mammals to lay eggs. Fertilised platypus eggs stay in the mother's body for around 28 days. The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the platypus's burrow for another 10 days.

Ponies have babies, not eggs. All mammals except for platypuses and echidnas give birth to live young.
