Platypuses are warm-blooded vertebrates, like donkeys, and both species breathe using lungs (rather than gills). Both donkeys and platypuses are mammals, nurturing their babies on mothers' milk. Other features which donkeys and platypuses share are

- A flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae

- enhanced neocortex development

- Sound is produced by the larynx (a modified region of the trachea)

- limbs are oriented vertically

- a 4 chambered heart

- Three bones for a middle ear

- Has hair on its body
