Entrez Taxonomy
|
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic
mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania. Together with the
four species of echidna, it is one of the five species of
monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth
to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family
(Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of
related species have been found in the fossil record.
