There are two types of egg-laying mammals. The platypusand 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.
Within these two types of animals, there are just threeknown species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus of Australia; the short-beaked echidna(Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia and Papua New Guinea; and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of 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.
