Actually Monotremata is a particular order that branched off from an earlier mammal group and retained several of its ancestral characteristics; other mammals aren't descended from monotremes, in the taxonomical sense, and so can't be considered monotremes themselves. The common ancestor between monotreme subgroups, marsupials, and placental mammals did probably have monotreme characters, but was not a monotreme itself.MothballMilkshake wrote:ApprenticeCrone wrote:Oooh, we should get some marsupials, to represent the Southern hemisphere....

Well everything is already technically a monotreme look up bandicoots. Adorable
That said, I'd like to see some wombats.
