The two monotremes are the platypus and the echidna. There is just one species of platypus, and two species of echidna - the long-beaked echidna, found in New Guinea, and the short-beaked echidna, found only in Australia. The platypus is also found only in Australia.

What are 2 things not found in marsupials that are found in monotremes?

Two things not found in marsupials which are found in monotremes:1. Monotremes lay eggs, although they are mammals.2. Monotremes have a single opening, or cloaca, for passing waste and for the reproductive purposes of both males and females. Marsupials have separate urinary and genital tracts, but the genital tract is separate, but there is still an external remnant of the original cloaca.3. Monotremes have alternative to teeth - the platypus has a grinding plate and the echidna has a long, sticky tongue so does not need teeth.
