Answer:

Duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus) is itself a mammal, but please note that it is a very special mammal.

It is world's most unique animal, as it has

  • webbed feet like a frog
  • a bill like a duck
  • venom like a snake
  • eggs like a bird
  • electrolocation like a fish

This mammal comes under a mammalian group called "Monotreme", the members of which lay eggs. No other mammal lay eggs, all other produce young ones.

Generally, on a wide perspective, only two animals (from mammals) are still surviving on earth which lay eggs. This platypus, and another echidnas.

Also, note that there's another special thing about this mammal is "electrolocation". With this, it can detect electrical signals to locate their food or to communicate.
