How does a platypus produce its young?
Platypuses are special mammals known as monotremes. This means they produce their young - or reproduce - by laying eggs, which hatch into young platypuses that initially feed off mothers' milk. Female platypuses lay eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow dug into a riverbank or next to a creek.

What do platypuses feed their young?
Platypuses are mammals; therefore, like all other mammals, the mother feeds her young on mothers' milk. As the young platypuses grow, she introduces them to worms and larvae that she brings back from her creek or river dives.

Why do male platypuses have babies?
Male platypuses do not have babies.Only the female can have young, and she does so by laying eggs. Platypuses are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.
How long do platypuses look after their young?
Young platypuses stay with their mother for about four months (115-125 days). They are nursed for the first three months.
Do baby platypuses drink their mother's milk?
Yes. Platypuses are mammals, and all female mammals - platypuses included - suckle their young on mother's milk. The only difference is that female platypuses do not have teats. The young must scoop up the milk which exudes into grooves in the mother's abdomen.
Why are platypuses not easy to classify?
Platypuses are easy to classify. They are mammals. Platypuses are mammals because, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk. The defining trait of a mammal is to have mammary glands, to produce milk for its young. The platypus produces its milk from numerous glands over its underside, unlike other mammals which have teats.There are other reasons why platypuses are classified as mammals, such as having skin, hair or fur, being warm blooded and breathing via lungs (not gills).It just happens that platypuses, like echidnas, are egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. But they are still mammals.
What are invisible characteristics of the platypus?
Male platypuses can produce venom.
When do platypuses mature?
Platypuses are fully mature at age two, which is when they reach reproductive age. However, young platypuses leave their mother between 14 and 18 months of age.
Do platypuses and spiny anteaters give birth to young alive?
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
