Platypuses are one of only two types of mammals to lay eggs. Fertilised platypus eggs stay in the mother's body for around 28 days. The egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the burrow for another 10 days.
platypus
A female platypus lays one to three eggs, all of which are likely to hatch.
yes platypuses lay eggs and they hatch from them.
Birds, most fish and insects, and the platypus and echidna.
false because they hatch only 10 days
platypus and echidna
Most mammals do not hatch from eggs. However, there is a small group of egg-laying mammals which are known as monotremes. There are just three known species of monotremes: the platypus; the short-beaked echidna; and the long-beaked echidna.
A female platypus lays eggs which later hatch into young platypuses. The platypus is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal, a characteristic shared only with the two species of echidna.
No. Raccoons are placental mammals. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are platypuses and echidnas.
Most reptiles, amphibians, birds, most arthropods, the platypus, and the echidna.
A platypus is not pregnant in the traditional sense, as it is one of the few mammals that lay eggs. After mating, the female platypus will lay one to three eggs, which she incubates for about ten days before they hatch. The young are then fed with milk from the mother until they are ready to fend for themselves.
Porcupines are mammals! They don't lay eggs?!?!
