∙ 9y agoEchidnas do not give birth: despite being mammals, they lay eggs, from which the young hatch. The eggs are about the size of a grape, so the newly hatched echidna is barely larger than that. The female lays a single egg directly into a rudimentary pouch that she develops during the breeding season, and the egg is incubated in this pouch.

What is the average size of a mammal?
The only mammals which lay eggs are the monotremes. These include the platypus and the two species of echidna, the short-beaked echidna of Australia and the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea. In the case of the platypus, the eggs are about 11 - 15 mm in size, or about the size of a grape. Interestingly, only the left ovary is functional. Also, while the mother produces milk, she does not have teats. The echidna lays eggs which are about the same size. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
