Why the platypus is considered a chimera

It has a duck's bill, a beaver's tail, and an otter's fur. Oh and it also lays eggs. Meet the platypus, one of the strangest mammals in the animal kingdom.

    And that was nesting material you saw it carrying with its tail. It was taking it back to the burrow.

    They are monotremes because they lay eggs which is a subclass of mammals. They are mammals because the females feed their young milk. I think that that are amazing little creatures.

    They are not the only mammals that lay eggs. Echidna lay eggs too. There use to be countless mammals that layed eggs. They were the Monotrematas. They all went extinct except Platypus and Echidnas. Our mammal ancestors also all laid eggs until Placenta mammals and marsupial mammals evolved out of that and started to hatch eggs internally. Monotrems never evolved out of that like the rest of the mammals
