Monotreme mammals include the echidna and the platypus. These unique mammals are characterized by their reproductive method, as they lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young. Monotremes are primarily found in Australia and New Guinea and are known for their distinctive features, such as the platypus's duck-bill and webbed feet. They represent one of the most primitive branches of mammals, providing insight into the evolution of this group.
