Answer 2

• The platypus is classed as a because it has fur and feeds its young with milk. The vast majority of mammals give live birth to their young the platypus lays eggs.
• It flaps a beaver-like tail. But it also has birds and reptiles features- a duck like bill and webbed feet, and lives mostly underwater. Mles have venom-filled spurs on their heels.
• Female mammals feed milk to their young through specialized nipples or teats: female platypuses do not have teats and instead simply "sweat" milk to their young. The platypus is also one of the few mammals to produce venom.
• The classification of the platypus as a mammal-the same group of animals that includes dolphins, elephants and humans has not always been self-evident.
• One of the reasons behind the platypus's physiological uniqueness comes from its evolutionary history as a monotreme.
• Monotremes are a group of five extant mammals that lay eggs and have highly specialized mouth parts. eg., kangaroos, koalas and wombats.
