The weirdest
mammal
clade
: they lay fucking
eggs
. Only
5
known
species
alive
as
of 2020.
Eggs
are
basal
: 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
, because like other
reptiles
it
has a
single hole for
shit
,
pee
and
fucking
: the
cloaca
.
