The platypus is in the animal group of mammals, so it belongs to Mammalia. It has all the defining characteristics of a mammal, including the ability to nurture its young on mothers' milk.

Because it is an egg-laying mammal, it is also in the monotreme group, and of the order monotremata. The only other mammal in this group is the echidna.
