Monotreme

A mammal that reproduces by laying eggs

Real World Example

Imagine trying to solve a puzzle with pieces that don’t seem to fit the typical image you have in mind. Similarly, monotremes, like the platypus, challenge our usual understanding of mammals by laying eggs instead of giving birth to live young, which seems puzzling at first. Just as you might have to adjust your approach to solve the puzzle by thinking outside the box, monotremes require us to expand our definition of what it means to be a mammal, highlighting the diversity and adaptability in nature.
