Echidnas are different as, like platypuses, they are egg-laying mammals. This group of vertebrates, known as the monotremes, is unique: their method of reproduction is laying eggs, yet they nurture their young on mothers' milk. Apart from producing milk to feed their young, there are other differences: they do not fit with egg-laying reptiles as echidnas are warm-blooded; nor do they fit with egg-laying birds because all birds have feathers, and echidnas, like other mammals, have hair/fur.
