Best Answer

There are two egg-laying mammals: the echidna and the platypus. The Platypus is an aquatic mammal, hence a swimmer, although the echidna can also swim effectively. Both creatures dig burrows. The platypus, however, is the only one with a bill.

What is Minnesota's state mammal?

There is no Minnesota state mammal at this time, becaue the State legislature could not pass a bill to select a mammal. There have been seveal attempts over the past twenty or so years. The white-tailed deer has been proposed at least eight times, and the Eastern timber wolf has received support at least six times, as the official Minnesota animal or mammal. Minnesota actually doesn't have a state Mammal. They tried to make the white tailed deer our state mammal and the angry voter as our state mammal but that didn't work so Minnesota officially doesn't have a state mammal.
