	Pictures of the order of monotremes \| Order Monotremata facts
		The order of monotremes (Monotremata) consists of all mammals (5 species in total) that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.
		Unlike the difference in their reproductive system, they share some similarities with other mammals: they are warm-blooded, have a relatively high metabolism, produce milk for their young, have a single bone in their lower jaw and have 3 middle ear bones (source).
		Monotremata is the only order in the prototheria subclass.

	Monotremata - LoveToKnow 1911
		MONOTREMATA (a name referring to the single outlet for all the excretory channels of the body), the lowest subclass of the Mammalia, represented at the present day solely by the platypus and the echidnas.
		In the case of Ornithorhynchus it has been said that two eggs are laid in the chamber at the end of the burrow,' but those of the Echidnidae are carried about in the pouch on the abdomen of the female, which becomes enlarged during the time of incubation.
		In the latter, three pairs of these teeth are developed in the upper, and three in the lower jaw; but after being for some time in use, they gradually become worn away, and are finally shed.
