Meet the platypus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | There was speculation that the platypus may be a furry lizard, until it was discovered that the female has mammary glands and suckles her young. |
| | The platypus is now known to be a mammal, and belongs to the order Monotrememata, along with the long-beaked echidna and the short-beaked echidna. |
| | The Monotremes are named for the one orifice, called the cloaca, that they use for urination, defecation and reproduction. |
