How are monotremes and marsupials different?

Marsupials give live birth to undeveloped young, which then crawl to the nipples (protected by a pouch in many species). Monotremes lay eggs and do not have nipples. Adult marsupials have teeth, but adult monotremes are toothless. Monotremes have interclavicle and coracoid bones in their shoulders, putting their legs to the sides of their bodies like reptiles. Marsupials do not. Monotremes have spurs on their ankles (venomous only for male platypuses), but marsupials do not.
