An egg laying mammal with webbed feet and a bill like a duck?
The platypus is an egg-laying mammal. Some may consider that the platypus has a bill like a duck, but the term "duck-billed platypus" is a complete misnomer. Its bill does not look like a duck's bill, being flatter and much broader, and made of a totally different substance; nor does it serve the same function as a duck's bill, having very unique properties such as electroreception.
