Platypuses reproduce via sexual reproduction.
Platypuses reproduce by laying eggs, which hatch into young platypuses that initially feed off mothers' milk. The platypus is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, just like the echidna, and quite unique to Australia. Platypuses lay eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow dug into a riverbank or next to a creek.
Their young, once hatched, drink milk from grooves on the mother's abdomen where it seeps from glands, rather than attaching to teats.
platypuses are strange in that way,there like mammals becaus thay nurse there young with milk but unlike mammals they lay eggs.

Do female hyenas dominate the males?
Yes. Hyena communities, called clans, are headed by a female called the matriarch. All the other females in the clan have a distinct role in a hierarchy; just as there is only one matriarch, there is only one female hyena below the matriarch and above all other, and below her is a female hyena subordinate to the hyena beneath the matriarch and above all the others, and so on, until the lowest ranking female is reached-who is still superior to every male in the clan.
The reasons for female dominance are not surprising: female hyenas are larger, stronger, and more aggressive than males.
What is a non-placental mammal?
A mammal is an animal that gives birth to live young and suckles them. A non-mammal is an animal that is born in an egg and does not drink milk from its mother. For example, a bird is a non-mammal because it is born from an egg and does not drink milk. But, there are some exceptions. The duck-billed platypus is one. The platypus is a mammal that suckles its young, but lays eggs!
How are placental mammals classified?
Placental mammals are grouped into Xenartha (anteaters, sloths, and armadillos), Afrotheria (elephant shrews, tenrecs, golden moles, elephants, aardvarks, manatees, dugongs, and hyraxes), Euarchontoglires (rodents, rabbits, hares, pikas, tree shrews, colugos, and primates), and Laurasiatheria (hedgehogs, shrews, moles, solenodons, bats, whales, dolphins, porpoises, even-toed hoofed mammals, odd-toed hoofed mammals, pangolins, and carnivores). Each of these is further divided into orders, which are divided into families, which are divided into genera, which are divided into species. There are 21 orders and 132 families of placental mammals.
What mammal has the best hearing?
African elephants are the animal that can hear the best over a long distance. However, most domesticated dogs have amazing hearing too!
What kind of wild animals live in the city?
Unfortunately, the city isn't a wild area, so there aren't any common wild animals. If you want to search up wild animals in the city, none of them would be very familiar, though wild cats tend to enter the cities many times, frequently... The only wild animal that is most commonly known in New York City would be the wild cats, and if you are living in an area around Virginia, I'd say sometimes, grizzly bears may strike. Near to the middle of the US, there would be mostly stray and/or wild cats, but if you are near a swamp, you might be lucky enough to find a very rare time of wild poisonous frogs! ;)

Bacteria. Can live in all different environments that other animals can't.
Actually, perhaps the most resilient organisms known are tardigrades ("water bears"). Tardigrades can go into a hibernation mode - called the tun state - one that is more akin to "suspended animation" whereby it can survive temperatures from -253°C to 151°C, as well as exposure to x-rays, and vacuum conditions. When you place tardigrades in perfluorocarbon fluid (again while hibernating), at a pressure of 600 MPa, (that's almost 6,000 times atmospheric pressure at sea level) they emerge from the experience just fine . Even the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, the most radiation resistant organism known, only achieves this resistance under some conditions such as fast growth and in nutrient-rich medium.
What bear does not have front teeth?
The Sloth bear, native to India, eats mostly insects and therefore lacks frontal incisors which are primarily used by other bears for ripping and tearing large pieces of flesh.
