BEHOLD! THE MAMMAL! IT GIVES MILK AND HAS HAIR!

(And has venomous claws, lays eggs, has electroreceptors, glows under UV, has 10 sex chromosomes, genetically it’s a mix of reptiles and mammals…)

    I tell you it’s just an Echidna that made love to a Lizard and that’s how we got the Platypus.

    It's one of twoish (one species of platypus, three of echidnas) mammals on its order (the other order which has all the more normal mammals — placental mammals) it's so different to the other mammals that really all monotremes have in common with placentals is hair and milk
