A monotreme is a rare sort of mammal found in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. The reason they are so rare is that they lay eggs! This group includes the Platypus and the Echidna (spiny anteater). The platypus is a semi-aquatic creature with webbed feet, a bill (sort of like a duck), waterproof fur and a flat tail (like a beaver). They are between 1 and 2 feet long and between 3 or 4 pounds.
Order Monotremata. This is a small and unique order of mammals placed by themselves in the subclass Prototheria. There are only 3 living species of monotremes â one species of duck-billed platypus and two species of echidna. Very little is known about them from the fossil record. What makes these mammals so unique is their egg-laying ability, a trait found in no other mammals.
