polyphyletic

They split up from the rest of the
mammals
after the
monotremes
.
Every other
mammal
has a
placenta
.
This baby in pouch thing just feels like
a
pre-
placenta
stage.

Every
mammal
except the weird
monotremes
,
i
.e.
marsupials
and the
placentalia
.
The
name
is completely random, "wild beast". Are platypuses not "wild beasts"? They have
a
freaking
poison
!!
