Mammals which lay eggs are called monotremes. They include the platypus, short-beaked echidna and long-beaked echidna. However, there is no evidence that reptiles were ancestors of the monotremes. Such a belief remains a theory, not fact.
Monotremes lay eggs. Monotremes include just the platypus and the echidna. However, it is a fallacy to suggest that their ancestors were reptilian. This is pure theory, and not backed up by any evidence. Fossil evidence shows, for example, that the platypus is largely unchanged compared to its ancient, larger ancestor.
Amphibian eggs and Fish eggs are usually found with a layer of a jelly like substance coating the egg. Reptile eggs are found with an egg that is protected with a shell.
No, platypuses are not fish. They are mammals, specifically monotremes, which are a group of mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Platypuses have a unique combination of mammalian, avian, and reptilian characteristics, but they are not classified as fish in any scientific taxonomy.
Prototherians, such as the platypus and echidna, are considered "unfinished" mammals because they exhibit both reptilian and mammalian characteristics. They lay eggs like reptiles, but also produce milk for their young like mammals. These unique features suggest that prototherians represent an ancient stage in mammalian evolution before the development of more distinct mammalian traits.
yes it does it does not hatch eggs
No. Only female platypuses and echidnas lay eggs. They belong to the group of mammals known as monotremes.
birds. penguins arent mammals bcuz they lay eggs and mammals dont.
Yes. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals; this group of mammals includes just platypuses and echidnas.
Marsupials and placental mammals are the ones that do not lay eggs. Monotremes are the only egg-laying mammals, and this group includes just the platypus and the echidna.
mammals, birdsactually birds are not mammals because mammals have live babies, birds lay eggs.
Reptilian eggs often have a hard or leathery shell protecting them - amphibian eggs do not. Amphibians like frogs and salamanders lay eggs that almost look like balls of gel or slime, so they must be laid somewhere moist. Because reptile eggs have a protective shell, they can be laid in more varied areas than amphibian eggs can.
The sub-group of mammals which lay eggs are called monotremes.This group includes the platypus and the two species of echidna.
