  1. egg-laying mammal

    An egg-laying mammal, also known as monotreme, is a type of mammal that reproduces by laying eggs instead of giving birth to live young as majority of other mammals do. Monotremes are distinctive among mammals due to this unique method of reproduction, and also due to certain anatomical features. The platypus and the echidnas, or spiny anteaters, are the only existing monotremes.
