{title2=Mammals that lay eggs}
{wiki}

The weirdest <mammal> <clade>: they lay fucking <eggs>. Only 5 known species alive as of 2020.

Eggs are <basal (phylogenetics)>: they simply didn't evolve out of what other <reptiles> do. From which we conclude that <milk> came before <eggs> stopped.

So this is the most basal subclade of mammals.

Etymology: means "single hole" in <Greek (language)>, because like other <reptiles> it has a single hole for <shit>, <pee> and <fucking>: the <cloaca>.
