Answer
Monotremes are the mammals that lay eggs (Prototheria) instead of giving birth to young over like marsupials (Metatheria) and placental mammals (Eutheria). The only surviving examples of monotremes are indigenous to Australia and New Guinea. The existing monotreme species are the Platypus and four species of echidnas (or spiny ant eaters).
