Platypus are one of the few mammals that lay eggs (There is a small group of mammals formally known as Monotremes that lay eggs, contrary to the popular believe that mammals never lay eggs); they are also majorly nocturnal. However Echidna, also known as spiny anteaters, are also known to be nocturnal.
