The platypus is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal. The only other animal in this group is the echidna. There are two species of echidna: the short-beaked echidna, which is found in Australia, just like the platypus; and the long-beaked echidna, which is only found on the island of New Guinea.
The platypus, like all animals, is in the kingdom Animalia.
They mate like mammals
Plants and animals reproduce offspringswell, plants use conifers or seeds to reproduce. comifers are like pine cones. i forgot what the second kind of conifer was. animals reproduce eggs and babies.
The platypus, like any other mammal, is made up of a skeleton, internal organs and an outer covering of skin - in this case, covered with fur. It is not made up of other animals, as some people mistakenly think.
Animals reproduce sexually not asexually. They have to have two animals to procreate, including both a male and a female.
sexually, like humans
No, animals either reproduce sexually or asexually. In sexual reproduction, two parents are required and an offspring is born with inherited genes/characteristics of both parents. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required to produce an offspring and that offspring has all the characteristics of the parent. Humans reproduce sexually, whereas single-celled organisms like amoebas reproduce asexually.
yes, like all animals, camels reproduce... all animals have babies!!!
A very strange animal like a platypus
The platypus is a mammal and, like all mammals, is warm-blooded.
Copepods reproduce by spawning, like most aquatic animals. They do not need much light to reproduce, but need plenty algae to survive.
Like the majority of animals. But they give birth in the water.
