Best Answer

The platypus and the two species of echidnas (short-beaked and long-beaked echidnas) lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young.

These animals are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. They lay soft, leathery eggs that take around 10 days to incubate.

There are two mammals which do not give live birth because they are egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidnaare both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.

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 (Zaglosssus 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.

The monotremes (the platypus and echidna) lay eggs that they incubate in their burrows. The young are nursed after they hatch.

Mammals do give birth alive. That is one of the conditions of being a mammal. If they don't they aren't a mammal.
