All scientists believe that spiny anteaters (more correctly known as echidnas) are mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk. This is the defining characteristic of a mammal.
Yes. Spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are mammals. All mammals breathe using lungs. Therefore, echidnas have lungs.
Very, very tenuously. Seals and spiny anteaters (echidnas) are both mammals. They are not, however, even the same type of mammals. Seals are placental mammals and echidnas are monotremes (egg-laying mammals).
The echidna is sometimes called a spiny anteater, but it bears no relation to anteaters. Anteaters are placental mammals, and echidnas are monotremes (egg-laying mammals).
The echidnas are spiny anteaters. They are one of only 2 mammals that give birth in. eggs
Spiny ant anteaters lay eggs. Although,they are mammals,they are the type of mammals that lay eggs.Hope this answer was useful.
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
Yes. Anteaters are placental mammals because they do not have a pouch like most marsupials, and they do not lay eggs like the monotremes. The echidna, which is sometimes called the "spiny anteater", is not a true anteater. It is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal.
All mammals have fur or hair. That includes spiny anteaters (echidnas). The spines on the echidna are actually modified hairs.
Spiny anteaters, or echidnas, move with their feet.
Echidnas, or spiny anteaters, are mammals. Therefore, they do feed their young with mothers' milk. This is one of the defining characteristics of a mammal.
Because the name is spiny which makes them spiny
The spiny anteater, more correctly known as the echidna, does indeed have four legs. It is a mammal, and all terrestrial mammals have four legs.
