There are no egg-laying mammals in South America.

There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, and two of them are found in Australia. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia.

In addition, the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) is found in New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-speciesof the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
