The three surviving monotreme species are the platypus, and two species of echidnas. The two species of echidnas are the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna. All three species are only found in Australia and New Guinea.
There is only one species of platypus. Echidnas, the other type of monotreme, have two species - the short-beaked echidna of Australia and the long-beaked echidna of Papua New Guinea.
There is actually only one monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, which is completely unique to Australia, and that is the platypus.The other monotreme is the echidna, of which there are two species. The long beaked and the short beaked echidna are found in both Australia and New Guinea.

No. A dog is a placental mammal. The only animals that are monotremes are the platypus and two species of echidnas.
The short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna are the two species of monotreme which have sharp spines.
The two monotremes are the echidna and the platypus.
If two different species belong to the same class, they will also share the same phylum and kingdom in their classification. These levels indicate a closer evolutionary relationship between the two species compared to others in the same kingdom.
They lay eggs. Platypuses do not have teats but the milk oozes through the skin. Monotremes include two species of echidna and one species of platypus.
This is the echidna. There are two species of echidna, which is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal. One species is the short-beaked echidna of Australia, and the other is the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea.
Define the term Species. If two organisms belong to the same family, what other classification levels do they have in common with one another. They also belong to the same kingdom, phylum, class and order.
Two different species that belong in the same class will also share the same phylum and kingdom in their classification. This means they will be more closely related to each other than species in different classes.
