Egg laying mammals are the mammals classified as monotremes. These include the Platypus and various species of Echidna.
Mammals which lay eggs are known as monotremes.
One mammal which lays eggs is the platypus; another is the long beaked echidna; the third is the short-beaked echidna.
There isn't one. An animal who lays eggs isn't a mammal. An animal who gives milk to it's young is a mammal.
Mammals (other than monotremes) have navels. Other animals do not, because they have no use for them.
The amount of eggs that an animal produces will vary depending on the animal. For example, a penguin only lays one or two eggs at a time and a bird can lay up to four at a time.
Because of its the only mammal that lays eggs, scientists believed. It was man made.
Yes. The echidna is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal. Platypuses and echidnas are the only egg-laying mammals.
There is no such thing as a bird that is a mammal. Mammals are one classification, and birds are another. All birds lay eggs. Most mammals do not lay eggs. The only exceptions are the monotremes, which include just the platypus and the echidna.
No. The platypus, which is an egg-laying mammal, lays between one and three eggs each breeding season. The average is two.
The platypus because it's the only animal that lays eggs and the only one with a beaver tail and a duck bill that is a semi aquatic mammal.
Amazement!! its not every day you see a mammal with a Ducks Beak, lays eggs, suckles its young, and delivers a poisonous sting that will have you in agony for hours. If that's not enough it lays its eggs, has sex, passes excreta and urine all through one orifice.

A platypus is a mammal. Like other mammals, it feeds its young on mother's milk. It just so happens that it is a mammal which lays eggs. Therefore, it is a monotreme.Both platypuses and echidnas are monotremes. The name monotreme is derived from two Greek words meaning "one-holed", because they have just one external opening, the cloaca, for both waste elimination and for reproduction. The cloaca leads to the urinary, faecal and reproductive tracks, all of which join internally, and it is the orifice by which the female monotreme lays her eggs.
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania. Together with the two species of echidna, it is one of the three species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.
