Platypuses reproduce by laying eggs, which is distinctive among mammals. The female platypus typically lays one to three eggs and incubates them by curling around them for about ten days until they hatch. After the eggs hatch, the mother nurses the young by secreting milk from mammary glands onto her skin, as platypuses do not have teats. This unique reproductive method classifies them as monotremes, a group of egg-laying mammals.
