Echidnas and Grey kangaroos are very different mammal species. To begin with, echidnas are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, while Grey kangaroos are marsupials. They both feed their young on mother's milk, and the echidna is unusual in that the female even develops a rudimentary pouch for incubating her egg, but the young echidna only stays in the pouch for a couple of months, until it begins to develop its spines. The kangaroo's joey stays in the pouch for up to nine months.
Another significant difference is that kangaroos are herbivorous, feelings on grasses and other vegetation, while the echidna is insectivorous, preferring termites and ants.
