is there any more mammals that lay eggs besides platypus?

Question

i need to know fo s.s

Answer 1

Echidnas are egg laying mammals as well. Echidnas and platypuses make the order monotrema, the monotremes. This means 'one hole', which is like reptiles in that they excrete and reproduce out of the same opening. All monotremes (1 platypus species and 4 echidna species (one is a disputed species based on a single museum specimen)) lay eggs rather than give birth to live young, but they are the only order to do so. They do produce milk, however, which allows them to be classed as mammals

Answer 2

Platypus and two species of echidnas are monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals. These are all found in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea.

Answer 3

Echnidia - they are ace, there are 2 species short and long beaked.
Overall there are only 3 species of egg laying mammals they are called Monotremes meaning one hole.

Answer 4

"These are all found in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea."

May I point out that Tasmania is a State of Australia just as Hawaii and Alaska are States of the USA except that Tasmania was there at the beginning and was the second colony in Australia. Tasmanians get very upset when they get left out

Answer 5

2 species of Echidnas - short beaked echidna, found in Australia, and the long beaked echidna found in New Guinea.

Answer 6

Aha! There IS another one!

"It is one of two animals that form the order Monotremata (egg-laying mammals), the other being Australia's spiny anteater. "

Wow, thanks for letting me find that out!

Answer 7

Huh. I thought they were marsupials. Oh well.
