No. Platypuses and echidnaslay eggs. They are members of the order Monotremata, so they are known as monotremes. There is just one species of platypus and two species of echidnas: the short-beaked echidna of Australia and the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea. There are three sub-species of the long-beaked echidna.
