Monotremes are unique types of mammals which lay eggs, rather than giving birth to live young. The only known monotremes are the platypus and the echidna, both of which are found in Australia, while echidnas are also found in New Guinea. They are mammals because, like all mammals, they suckle their young on mothers' milk.
