The echidna is not a marsupial, but a female echidna develops a pouch, or rather a flap of skin, during the breeding season. She curls up and lays her single egg in this pouch, where it is then incubated until it hatches.
Sometimes, the male even develops a pouch during breeding season, but it serves absolutely no function.
