The only extant monotremes (mammals that lay eggs instead of producing by live birth) are the platypus and two species of echidna, the long-beaked echidna and the short-beaked echidna. Debate is still out on how many species of long-beaked echidna there are.
Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. The only monotremes in the world are the echidna and the platypus, both native only to Australia and New Guinea. There is one species of platypus, and two species of echidna: the short-beaked echidna of Australia and the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea. There are three sub-species of long-beaked echidna.
Monotreme means "one opening" as they have only one opening for faeces, urine and the laying of eggs. They are also the only mammals to lay eggs.
There are two types of animals, but three species of monotremes. They are the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.
Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. They include just the platypus and the echidna.
There are only two living monotremes: the platypus and the echidna.
Monotremes, marsupials, and placentals
Most mammals are placental...marsupial mammals and monotremes are not placental.
The platypus and the echidna are the only living examples of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.
All mammals except for monotremes are viviparous. Monotremes are platypuses and echidnas: therefore, any mammal that is not a platypus or echidna is viviparous. Actual examples would be cats, dogs, horses, kangaroos, koalas, gerbils, gophers, beavers, dolphins, whales, rats, shrews, porcupines, armadillos, etc.
Yes, monotremes are real.
No a Blue Whale is Not a monotremes.
No. The koala is an example of a marsupial. The only two examples of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, are the platypus and te echidna.
Monotremes never eat their young.
Monotremes are egg laying mammals, the platypus and the echidna are the only two monotremes.
Eutherians and monotremes are in the phylum Chordata.
Monotremes are mammals; therefore they have lungs, not gills.
No, monotremes do not have short internal development.
