Answer 1

Hmm..ending with dna....
"Echidna", sometimes also referred to as "spiny anteaters", are the only surviving monotremes apart from the Platypus. The four surviving species, native to New Guinea and Australia, all belong to the Tachyglossidae family under the class of mammalia. The echidna is named after a monster in ancient Greek mythology
Its is classified as follows:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: "Mammalia"
Order: Monotremata
Family: Tachyglossidae

Answer 2

Echidna

Answer 3

echidna, as others have already said. I will add though that there is debate about its status as a mammal. Some evolutionary biologists think that it may belong to a seperate class of animal all together based on differences in its dentary squamosal joint, the telltale sign of "mammalness"

Answer 4

Echidna - the spiney anteater.

Knowing that 'dna' is the abreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid, I used the site below to find the word.

Edna was another possible answer ;)

Answer 5

Echidna, although it is a monotreme i.e. it lays eggs,like a reptile or bird. it does not have nipples as such, milk oozes out of modified sweat glands. So it shows both both mammalian and reptilian features. Proof ( if proof were needed) that mammals descended from reptiles.

Answer 6

The echidna. Only one of the three species of egg-laying mammals.

Answer 7

Echidna: Read as EchiDNA. It is the spiny ant eater, it is an egg laying mammal.

Answer 8

Echidna.

Answer 9

Echidna.

Answer 10

Oh! EchiDNA! Although it looks like other people have already got it. Darn.
