This animal may have sharp spines, but it isn't a porcupine! It's one of two types of primitive egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. (The other is the duck-billed platypus.).
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), also known as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth.
