All monotremes lay eggs. That is their classification - egg-laying mammals. There are only 2 animals that are monotremes, the platypus and the echidna. There are, however, 2 different species of echidna.
Yes. Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals, which include just platypuses and echidnas.
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.
Today the only living species of monotremes are the platypus and the echidna. They can be found only in Australia and New Guinea.
Further information:
There are two egg-laying mammals, but three species. The platypus and the echidna are 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.
The three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes 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 two known types of monotremes (egg-laying mammals) are the platypus and the echidna.
Platypuses and echidnas are both monotremes, that is, egg-laying mammals.
The two monotremes are the platypus, of which there is just one species, and the echidna, of which there are two species and several sub-species.
There are just three species of monotremes, or egg laying mammals: the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.
The only monotremes (mammals that lay eggs instead of giving live birth) are the platypus and two species of echidna, the long-beaked echidna and the short-beaked echidna.
The two monotremes found in Australia are the short-beaked echidna and the platypus.

Yes, monotremes are real.
No a Blue Whale is Not a 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.
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.
