AI overview
Monotremes are a small group of egg-laying mammals that include the platypus and echidnas, making them unique among living mammals since all other mammals give birth to live young. Despite laying eggs, female monotremes share a key trait with other mammals: they produce milk to feed their babies after they hatch.
