Platypus are unique mammals. They are one amongst the three mammals which lays eggs and feeds their young ones through a large gland that oozes out the milk covered up from a patch of fur since they do not have teat. The females become sexually active within 2 years but may wait for 5 years too.

Out of the water, platypuses spend most of their time in burrows which have been dug into the river bank, with their entrances usually above water level. The animals use a number of short resting burrows (three to five metres long) as protection from predators and temperature extremes.

The platypus and the two species of echidna are the world's only monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The name 'monotreme' comes from the fact that these animals have only a single opening for reproduction and getting rid of body wastes.
