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.
The existing monotreme species are the platypus and four species of echidnas (or spiny anteaters). There is currently some debate regarding monotreme taxonomy. The word monotreme comes from the Greek Î¼Î¿Î½ÏÏ, monos (single) and ÏÏá¿Î¼Î±, trema (hole), referring to the cloaca.onotremes' metabolic rate is remarkably low by mammalian standards. The platypus has an average body temperature of about 32 Â°C (90 Â°F) rather than the averages of 35 Â°C (95 Â°F) for marsupials and 37 Â°C (99 Â°F) for placental mammals.
