Monotremes are extraordinary mammals which lay eggs, rather than giving birth to live young. All other mammals give live birth. The only known monotremes are the platypus and the echidna, both of which are found in Australia, while echidnas are also found in New Guinea. They are mammals because, like all mammals, they suckle their young on mothers' milk. They also share all other features of mammals, such as being warm-blooded vertebrates with fur that breathe using lungs, and have a four-chambered heart.
Monotremes are extraordinary because they are egg-laying mammals, with the young suckling mothers' milk. Apart from echidnas and platypuses, no other mammals lay eggs.
Because they are cool
Egg laying mammals are called monotremes.
Castle calmly stated, "That's what makes you extraordinary."
Yes. These creatures are all mammals. Platypuses are monotremes (egg-laying mammals) while the others are placental mammals.
As a general rule, yes. Mammals have live young. The exceptions to this are the two types of monotremes - platypuses and echidnas - which are egg-laying mammals.
Yes, monotremes are real.
Well, honey, a platypus and an echidna are the two monotremes you're looking for. These funky little creatures lay eggs instead of giving live birth, making them quite the oddballs in the mammal world. But hey, who doesn't love a little quirkiness in nature?
No a Blue Whale is Not a monotremes.
Monotremes never eat their young.
