Monotremes, such as the echidna and the platypus, are endothermic. Monotremes are mammals, and all mammals are endothermic. This means that they regulate their body temperature by internal processes and that their body temperature is constant.

Yes,monotremes are mammals that lay eggs.They are special that there are only two kinds of monotremes.They are Echidna and Platypus.They both have mammary gland and fur or hair on their body.

All three species of monotremes, which comprise the platypus, short-beaked echidna and long-beaked echidna, reproduce sexually. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals, so platypuses and echidnas lay eggs in order to reproduce.

No. Being mammals, monotremes are warm blooded.

It is called oviparity. Animals which exhibit this behaviour are known as oviparous.

There are two egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidna are both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.

There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.

All monotremes lay eggs. That is their classification - egg-laying mammals. There are only 2 animals that are monotremes, the platypus and the echidna. There are, however, 2 different species of echidna.
Yes. Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals, which include just platypuses and echidnas.

Mammals do not generally lay eggs. Almost all types of mammals give live birth.

There are three species of egg-laying mammals: the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna. All three of these monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, lay their eggs on land. The platypus digs a burrow in a riverbank or creekbank, above the waterline, while the echidna lays her egg directly into a flap of skin that acts as a pouch.

Most mammals do not hatch from eggs. However, there is a small group of egg-laying mammals which are known as monotremes.

There are just three known species of monotremes: the platypus; the short-beaked echidna; and the long-beaked echidna.

The ostrich lays the biggest but most dinosaurs laid bigger eggs than that.

Monotreme young are hatched from eggs. Unlike other mammals, they are not born live. They are still mammals because the mother nurtures her young with milk which she secretes from glands on her abdomen.

Monotremes are the egg-laying mammals, and there are just three species.

Platypuses and short-beaked echidnas are endemic to Australia. The long-beaked echidna is found in Papua New Guinea.

The only extant monotremes (mammals that lay eggs instead of producing by live birth) are the platypus and two species of echidna, the long-beaked echidna and the short-beaked echidna. Debate is still out on how many species of long-beaked echidna there are.

Monotremes (Platypus/ornithorhynchids and echidnas/tachyglossids) are mammals. Basal to the mammal lineage, they lay eggs.

The platypus spends ten days as an egg incubating within its mother, until the egg is laid. This is the first stage.

The soft-shelled egg is incubated by the mother curling around it and keeping it warm and dry in the chamber of the burrow for another 28 days. Once it is hatched, the platypus spends several more months with its mother until it is weaned. The mother lacks a pouch. The young platypus feeds on mother's milk which oozes through modified sweat glands of the platypus parent and does not emerge from a teat. The young platypus reaches reproductive maturity at around age 2, and may live to around 9-11 years. As an adult, the platypus then spends its life searching for aquatic invertebrates for food.

Unlike the platypus, the echidna does not lay its eggs in a burrow. After mating, there is a gestation period for the egg of 23 days. During breeding season, the female develops a rudimentary pouch which is really just a flap of skin. When it comes time to lay her egg, she curls tightly into a ball and lays it directly in this pouch, where it is incubated for around 10 days. The young emerge blind and hairless, and stay in the pouch, suckling for two to three months.

Once the baby echidna develops spines, the mother moves it into a burrow. It continues to suckle for the next six months, whilst also being introduced to ants and termites. As an adult, the echidna uses its strong claws to dig into termite nests for food. A highly adaptable creature, the echidna may be found in bushland, deserts, alpine areas and even suburban fringes.trundles around searching for ants and termites on the scrubland/forest floor. When they reach sexual maturity, they themselves will mate and lay eggs and raise young exactly as their parents did.

Monotremes lay amniotic eggs. Monotremes include just the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.
There are two mammals that lay amniotic eggs. The two mammals that lay amniotic eggs are echidna and platypus.

A variety of stingless bee, trigona hypogea.

to my limited knowledge - i have only come across it once before - is a theoretical instrument somewhat like a guitar with only one string. i have also heard of it referred to as the monotrome of humanity or realty. Have seen a pic of it, but not sure where
