The only way in which a platypus is related to a fox or lion is the fact that it is a mammal. This means it shares the characteristics of being a warmblooded vertebrate with hair, fur or skin, and it breathes through lungs. It also feeds its young on mother's milk, but even there the similarity stops, as mother's milk seeps through glands in the fur, instead of the young latching on to a teat. A platypus lays eggs whilst foxes and lions give birth to live young.
