MadSci Network: Zoology |
Timothy, What a good question. You are right of course, that montremes as animals are closer to birds than reptiles, being warm-blooded. However, the eggs of monotremes are soft and leathery, like those of reptiles - no-one really knows why. You may find the information on this pages useful. http://www.ozemail.com.au/~stix/planet/monotreme.html Thanks for using MadSci Network. DrJim
