Answer 1

Yes: specifically, it is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal.

The only other species which is an egg-laying mammal is the echidna.

A platypus is a mammal because the young feed on milk produced in the mother's mammary glands. It also has fur, is warm-blooded and breathes through lungs, like other mammals.

Answer 2

Yes.

The platypus and the echidna are both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals.

Answer 3

Platypuses are mammals, not amphibians, despite the fact that both platypuses and amphibians lay eggs. Platypuses are mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk, and this is the defining characteristic of a mammal.

The platypus also has fur, breathes through lungs throughout its life, and is warm-blooded.

An amphibian has moist skin, not fur. It is cold-blooded, and it only breathes through lungs as an adult; juveniles breathe through gills.

Answer 4

No, they are monotremes: egg-laying mammals. They have fur and they feed their young milk.
