Animals with placentas, known as placental mammals, include a wide variety of species such as humans, elephants, dogs, and whales. These animals give birth to live young that have developed inside the mother's uterus, receiving nutrients and oxygen through the placenta during gestation. Other examples include primates, rodents, and carnivores, showcasing the diversity of placental mammals in different environments.
Not all animals have placentas because they lay eggs instead. Only mammals have placentas by the way. Other animals use eggs and amniotic eggs.
Triplets can have separate placentas, but it depends on how they are conceived. If they are all fraternal (dizygotic), they typically have three separate placentas. If they are identical (monozygotic), they may share one placenta or have separate placentas depending on when the single fertilized egg splits. In some cases, a combination of both types can occur, leading to varying placenta arrangements.

No.
Dog puppies have their own placentas. If the litter is 4 pups, then there will be 4 placentas (afterbirths).

Not really. The mother cat will usually eat the kitten placentas and will, as a result, get back a small amount of the protein she has expended in creating the kittens. But there is nothing special about the placentas, and depriving the mother cat of them will not hurt her.
Yes, having two placentas typically indicates that you conceived twins, specifically fraternal twins, as each embryo develops its own placenta. In some cases of identical twins, a single placenta may be shared if the embryos split early enough. However, two placentas usually suggest that the twins are distinct and developed separately.
You can't.
