Yes: specifically, it is a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal.
The only other species which is an egg-laying mammal is the echidna.
A platypus is a mammal because the young feed on milk produced in the mother's mammary glands. It also has fur, is warm-blooded and breathes through lungs, like other mammals.
Yes a platapus is a mamal that lays egss
Platypuses are mammals, not amphibians, despite the fact that both platypuses and amphibians lay eggs. Platypuses are mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk, and this is the defining characteristic of a mammal.
The platypus also has fur, breathes through lungs throughout its life, and is warm-blooded.
An amphibian has moist skin, not fur. It is cold-blooded, and it only breathes through lungs as an adult; juveniles breathe through gills.
The platypus and echidna are recognised as egg-laying mammals. They are monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals.
The Platypus and the Echidna are the only mammals that are Oviparous.
No. Platypuses are mammals, and mammals do not have gizzards. In the case of the platypus, the food is broken down by the platypus's grinding plates in its jaw.
yes, a platypus a is a vertebrate. all mammals are.
The platypus has two lungs, like all mammals do.
The platypus has fur 1) to keep them warm and 2) because they are mammals and almost all mammals have fur or hair.because its a mammal
The platypus, like all mammals, is in the sub-phylum "vertebrata".
The platypus belongs to the subfamily of monotremes. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals.
The platypus is not related to birds. They are monotremes. (mammals that lay eggs.)
Yes. The platypus is a mammal and all mammals have lungs. Even marine mammals such as dolphins and whales must use lungs to breathe. When swimming, the platypus must surface regularly to breathe.
The platypus is a monotreme, and of the order monotremata.Together with the short-beaked and long-beaked echidna, the platypus is one of the few egg-laying mammals in the world.
The platypus and the echidna are the only two egg-laying mammals in existence. They are classed as monotremes.They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.
