The only venomous mammal is what egg-laying marsupial?

There are two misconceptions in this question. First, there are no egg-laying marsupials. All marsupials give live birth. Second, there are numerous venomous mammals. Many species of shrew, as well as the Cuban Solenodon, are venomous mammals. The only egg-laying mammal that is venomous is the platypus, which ejects venom through a hollow spur on each ankle. Only maturemales have spurs and can eject venom. The platypus is a monotreme, not a marsupial. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals.


Are platypuses the most poisonous animals in the world?

No, they are not the most poisonous animals in the world, but they are one of the world's very few venomous mammals. No one has been recorded as dying from platypus venom, but people who have been "spurred" by a platypus report that the pain is strong enough to cause vomiting that may last for days, weeks or sometimes even months. The pain cannot be relieved by morphine and other standard pain-killing drugs. It seems the only way it can be relieved is through anaesthesia of the main nerve from the spur site.
