Monotreme

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to bake a cake, but you decide to cook it using a barbecue grill instead of an oven. This situation is similar to the concept of a monotreme, a mammal that reproduces by laying eggs, which seems unconventional like grilling a cake. Just as using a grill for baking involves adapting a traditional process (oven baking) to a different method, monotremes adapt the typical mammalian process of live birth by using an unusual method (egg-laying) that still results in the same outcome: a new life.
