Yes.

Most mammals give birth to live young, but those that are egg-laying do so on land.

The only mammals which lay eggs - the platypus and the echidna - are known as monotremes. The platypus lays its eggs on land, in a chamber at the end of a long burrow it digs in the riverbank or creek bank. The echidna actually develops a rudimentary pouch into which it lays a single egg during breeding season.

The only mammals which lay eggs (monotremes) are the platypus and the echidna. These two monotremes lay soft, leathery eggs. The eggs will keep out water to some extent, but they are not watertight. Nor do they need to be - both animals incubate their young on land, not in the water.
