Which group of animals does not lay egg?
All groups of animals lay eggs. The one most commonly defined as non-egg-laying is the group known as mammals. Almost all mammals give birth to live young. The exception to this are the three species of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, and they include the platypus and the two species of echidnas.Within the other vertebrate groups, only the "Birds" are all egg-layers. There are some species of fish, reptile and amphibians which do not lay eggs.
Where do placental mammals live?
Placental mammals are mammals that give birth to fully developed live young, such as like humans, for instance. They are classed within the group of animals known as eutherians. Dogs, cats, livestock, rodents, giraffes, rhinoceroses, etc, are all placental mammals. This is opposed to the monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals (platypuses and echidnas) or marsupials (kangaroos, koalas, wombats, etc), which give birth to very undeveloped young that must complete their development attached to a nutrient-supplying teat, usually in the mother's pouch.

It depends on what you mean by non-mammals. If you are counting all matter as a non-mammal, then most non-mammals are not organisms. If you are counting a non-mammal as any life form or any animal that is not a mammal, then all non-mammals are organisms.
