Platypus Gives Both Egg and Milk Explain the statement, whether it is an oviparous animal or viviparous animal

Answer: The platypus is a monotreme that reproduces by oviparous reproduction rather than viviparous reproduction. That is, instead of giving birth to live young, it lays eggs. They do, however, milk their young as a viviparous mammal would.

Platypus is poisonous (just the males) and hunts by detecting electrical fields.
