There are actually three countries in which the only egg-laying mammals live: Australia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, i.e. that part of Indonesia which occupies the western half of the island of New Guinea.
There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
No. Porcupines are placental mammals, and give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals are the platypus and the echidna.
Cats give live birth as they are placental mammals. They give birth to kittens. The only egg-laying mammals are the platypus and the echidna. These egg-laying mammals are known as monotremes.
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.
No. Pouched mammals, or marsupials, give birth to live young.The only egg-laying mammals are the monotremes.
No. Bats are placental mammals. The only egg-laying mammals are the platypus and the echidna.
There are only 2 egg laying mammals. They are the platypus and the echidna.
No. Platypuses are one of two known monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidna, of which there are two species, are the only known egg-laying mammals.
The echidna is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal. Most mammals give live birth, but only the echidna and platypus are egg-laying mammals.
No. Zebras are placental mammals, so they give live birth. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are the platypus and the echidna.
No. Kangaroos give birth to live young. They are mammals, specifically marsupials. The only egg-laying mammals are monotremes, a group which includes only the echidna and the platypus.
No. Squirrels are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are the platypus and the echidna.
No. Armadillos are placental mammals, so they give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are the platypus and the echidna.
