Monotremes

What are the most peculiar-looking animals you know? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby invite you to Australia and New Guinea to meet the monotremes – an unusual family of egg-laying mammals. You’ll learn about the platypus and echidna – four types of anteater; their physical characteristics; and how they differ from other mammals. You’ll also find out their cool defence systems; how they take care of their eggs; and what comes out of their cloaca! It’s not polite to laugh!
