Platypuses and echidnas are members of a quite different order of mammals known as monotremes. They are egg-laying mammals, but still classified as mammals since they nurture their young with mothers' milk. They also share other characteristics with mammals, such as being warm-blooded, having fur, skin or hair, and breathing via lungs rather than gills.
