What is the subclass of mammal species in which females lay eggs like non-mammalian vertebrates?
This subclass/infraclass/order is called Monotremata, and mammals within it are called monotremes. Monotremata consists of the Platypus and two species of echidnas. There are many other characteristics that set monotremes apart from other mammals.
Monotremata is commonly known as?
Animals of the classification 'monotremata' are commonly known as monotremes. They are egg-laying mammals. The two monotremes are the platypus and the echidna.
What are the only two species in the order montremata?
There are actually 3 species: the Platypus, the Long-nosed Echidna, and the Short-nosedEchidna.The order Montremata is divided into two families: Ornithorhynchidae (having only one species of Platypus), and Tachyglossidae (having the two species of Echidnas. They are also known as Spiny Anteaters).
What other animals are related to the platypus?
The platypus is quite unique and is not closely related to any other animal. It belongs to the order monotremata, as does the echidna (sometimes known as the spiny anteater), which is its only living relative. These animals are known as monotremes.Platypuses and echidnas are the only two kinds of mammals in the world that lay eggs.
Do donkeys lay eggs?
No. Donkeys are mammals, and with the exception of monotremes, mammals do not lay eggs. Monotremata is an order consisting of only two extant families: the platypus and the echidnas, and it definitely does not include donkeys.

Which order contains the one kind of mammal that lays eggs?
None - because there are two types of mammals which lay eggs. Monotremata is the order which contains the echidna and the platypus, both of which are egg-laying mammals. Monotremes is the order of mammals that lay eggs rather than giving live birth.
Why is reproduction important for sustaining life?
In order for survival of species and its continuity. For example, you would not know there were a species like humans if there were only two humans and if they weren't capable of reproduction. Only because organisms reproduce, you come to know of their existence and their species thus survive.
Only two species of this mammal exist?
The two species are the Sumatran rhinoceros and the Javan rhinoceros. Both are critically endangered with declining populations due to habitat loss and poaching. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve these species in order to prevent their extinction.
Are there seventeen species of Tuatara?
