Prototheria

The subclass of mammal species in which females lay eggs like birds and reptiles. However, they feed their newborn with mammary gland secretions like all other mammals. The Prototheria are also referred to as monotremes, which literally means that they have only one opening for excretion and reproduction. Included in this subclass are the platypus and echidna.
