The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania. Together with the two species of echidna, it is one of the three species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.

Strangely enough, a platypus, which originates from Australia, is a mammal, even though it lays eggs!
Mammals (other than monotremes) have navels. Other animals do not, because they have no use for them.
The platypus is not a marsupial: it is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal. Marsupials give birth to live young, and do not lay eggs. The other monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, is the echidna.

No because it lays eggs. The only mammal that lays eggs is the platypus. It is a reptile.
The platypus lays eggs, and swims underwater, using its bill (equipped with electroreceptors) to find food.
It's not born in the water, so its not an amphibian. And its definetly not a bird or a mammal. It lays eggs and is cold blooded, lives on land.
