The spiny anteater, also known as the echidna, belongs to the order Monotremata along with the platypus. This order is for egg-laying mammals, and the platypus and echidna are the only egg-laying mammals known to man. All other mammals give birth to live young. The echidna was hard to classify because it had all the other attributes of a mammal besides giving birth to live young.

Yes. The spiny anteater, more correctly known as the echidna, is a monotreme. This means it is an egg-laying mammal which feeds its young on mothers' milk, one of only two such types of animals in the world. The other monotreme is the platypus.
When the young echidna first hatches, it bears little resemblance to the parents, being pink and hairless. After some weeks, it begins to develop spines, whereupon it starts to take on some similarities to the adult echidnas.
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
The spiny anteater, more correctly known as the echidna, is a monotreme. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. There are several reasons why echidnas are classified as mammals. 1. Echidnas have fur (all mammals have fur, skin or hair). 2. They breathe using lungs (not gills). 3. They are warm blooded. 4. The main reason is that they suckle their young on mothers' milk.
