Monotremes differ from all other mammals and resemble reptiles in that they lay shell covered eggs that hatch outside the mother's body. The echidna has spines all over its body along with short fur. Over millions of years Australia has remained isolated from the rest of the continent and for that reason it has a unique wildlife Australia will also surprise us with birds with two meters high whose male is responsible for incubation; fish with lungs or egg-laying mammals, like. They have a lower body temperature than other mammals, maintaining temperatures around C ( F). Answers come with explanations, so that you can learn. Many might also know that mammals give birth rather than lay eggs, with the rather unusual exceptions of the duckbilled platypus and the echidna. They are the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live babies. With the exception of the monotreme species (which lays eggs) almost all mammals give birth to their young. 3. Which of... The only mammal that lays eggs. The isolation of Australia meant that some ancient animals were not forced to compete against other modern mammals. The mammals that lay eggs, or monotremes, are divided into two major groups, the duck-billed platypus and the echidnas. There are three different types of mammal categories: Placental Mammals, Monotremes Mammals and Marsupials. Lloyd Glenn Ingles California Academy of Sciences. Of course the embryos in eggs are alive, but a meaning of live is also "moving around visibly." Egg laying mammals are called monotremes and egg laying this is due to evolutionary considerations.
