Monotremes are the only type of mammals which lay eggs.
Monotremes include the platypus, the short-beaked echidna (both found in Australia) and the long-beaked echidna, which is endemic to New Guinea.
This is true and false.
Most mammals do not lay eggs, but instead give live birth. There are, however, just two egg-laying mammals, which are members of the order Monotremata, so they are known as monotremes. Platypuses and echidnas are egg-laying mammals.
Monotremes are mammals which lay eggs.
There are two egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidna are both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes.They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.
There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
The platypus and the echidna are the only mammals which lay eggs. They belong to the group known as "monotremes" and are both native to Australia.
