Yes. Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals, which include just platypuses and echidnas.

Answer 2

Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. The only monotremes in the world are the echidna and the platypus, both native only to Australia and New Guinea. There is one species of platypus, and two species of echidna: the short-beaked echidna of Australia and the long-beaked echidna of New Guinea.

Answer 3

Today the only living species of monotremes are the platypus and the echidna. They can be found only in Australia and New Guinea.

Further information:

There are two egg-laying mammals, but three species. 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 alone.

The three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes are the platypus and short-beaked echidna(Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
