What are the main differences between a monotreme and other mammals?

Monotremes are the only mammals that lay eggs.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. This is different from other mammals, which have two openings - one for reproduction, and one for waste.
