  1. ornithorhynchidae

    Ornithorhynchidae is a family of mammals in the order Monotremata, which contains one extant species, the platypus. These animals are unique as being among the few mammals known to lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. They are notably recognizable by their distinctive duck-bill snout and beaver-like tail. Ornithorhynchidae are native to Eastern Australia and Tasmania.

  1. Ornithorhynchidae

    The Ornithorhynchidae are one of the two extant families in the order Monotremata, and contains the platypus and its extinct relatives. The other family is the Tachyglossidae, or echidnas. Within Ornithorhynchidae are two genera, Obdurodon and Ornithorhynchus: ⁕Family Ornithorhynchidae ⁕Genus †Obdurodon — an ancient branch of the platypus family ⁕†Obdurodon dicksoni ⁕†Obdurodon insignis ⁕†Obdurodon/Monotrematum sudamericanum ⁕Genus Ornithorhynchus ⁕Ornithorhynchus anatinus Another two genera, Steropodon and Teinolophos, may also belong to Ornithorhynchidae. However, they are both very ancient, and scientific literature seems to indicate they are closely related to, but not a part of, the Ornithorhynchids. The extinct Ornithorhynchus maximus was once included in Ornithorhynchus, but has now been concluded to be from the echidna family as Zaglossus robustus.
