Detailed explanation-1: -The female platypus lays her eggs in an underground burrow that she digs near the water’s edge. Baby platypuses hatch after 10 days and nurse for up to four months before they swim off and forage on their own.
Detailed explanation-2: -Platypus are monotremes-a tiny group of mammals able to both lay eggs and produce milk. They don’t have teats, instead they concentrate milk to their belly and feed their young by sweating it out.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, the study found that the platypus contains fewer copies of an egg-producing protein, called vitellogenin, than reptiles, meaning that they are not as dependent on these proteins to lay eggs. But the existence of this gene may explain why platypus lay eggs in the first place.
