What is unusual about the method of reproduction in monotremes in mammals?
Monotremes are the only egg-laying mammals. They are fully mammal because they feed their young on mothers' milk.
Marsupials are the only mammals to give birth to undeveloped young after a short gestation period. These young are unable to exist independently of their mothers' nourishing teats, and for the most part, they are protected by a pouch, or marsupium - although this is not the case with all marsupials.

What is the Difference between wild boar and wild pig?
The standard term used for a wild hog in the United States is feral hog or feral pig. Feral means it was once domestic and is now wild. Spanish explorers brought domestic hogs with them in the 1500's and they have spread across the country. Many states now have populations of wild hogs but the southeastern states, as well as Texas have very large populations.
Wild boar is usually the term used for the Eurasian wild boar, originally from Russia. It has also been brought to the United States and has freely bred with the feral hog population. The Eurasian wild boar is larger, huskier, and more aggressive than other wild hogs.
It can be done, and is done, however. From the reading I've been doing, it is possible, although very difficult, to train a zebra to be ridden or to pull carriages, and in fact, there are real zebras being ridden in the movie "Racing Stripes."
I suspect the difference between the ability to train horses and to train zebras can be at least in part explained away by the fact that horses were first trained several thousand years ago. Over time, humans bred horses for docility, most likely by eating the animals which proved harder to train. We did the same thing with cattle. Humans in sub-Saharan Africa never seemed to domesticate the animals at their disposal, however, (with the possible exception of guinnea fowl) and so, the zebra was left in its wild state.
I would imagine, but do not know, that if the horse had never been domesticated, wild horses would be almost as hard to train as would a zebra. Certainly, dogs, which have been domesticated from wolves for over 10,000 years are, in personality, wolves always stuck in their juvenile phase. I imagine lots of wolf cubs were eaten on the way to develop the modern domestic canid. Dogs (or wolves) which were more dog like were kept for breeding future generations, and over time, their personalities changed to the dogs we have now.
And, even the horses now considered "wild" are really feral domestic horses, except for a few isolated groups mainly in Asia, which I understand are about as resistant to training as zebras.
I recall reading about an American Bison who became inordinately fond of his owners as he was being raised, to the point of allowing himself to be ridden when grown. He was actually featured being ridden on television commercials. In the history of domestication, an animal like him would have been bred many times to secure the "amenable" traits he displayed.
I also read a reference to the now ex-Soviets training moose to saddle and yoke, saying they were more stable around aircraft than horses. And we all know that Santa has trained reindeer to pull his sleigh, although how he's bred them to fly is beyond me.

Are porcupines ectothermic or endothermic?
A porcupine is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
sadly, this is true....... some humans in the past hunted cheetahs for their fur and claws. the cheetahs ability to run made the humans take days to capture even a cheetah young! but as days go past the cheetah is more safe, this is because, we are getting too lazy to outrun them, but when you come to think of it....... its a good thing people are to lazy to hunt a cheetah!
hope my answer helped! :)
