Monotremes are the only mammals that lay eggs. If that isn’ odd enough, the platypus looks like a cross between a beaver and a duck, while echidnas resemble a cross between a hedgehog and an anteater.

If there’s no further information below, you might want to explore the groups this order belongs to or check out its children. Otherwise, you can try Google or check back again in a few weeks; GeoZoo is under constant development.

Stay tuned!
