    I was reading some of your archived info and found that on june 12 2006 a fact by Taed was incorrect. It said that the echidna was the only mammal to be revived after being frozen. An echidna is not actually a mammal, it is from the rare monotremes group. A warm blooded egg laying type of marsupial that the platapus is grouped to.

    How can he expect us to believe anything he says when he ends his last sentence with a preposition?

    Uh, monontremes are mammals. The Monontremes group is simply defined as "mammals that lay eggs."

    All creatures with mammary glands are mammals, period. Mammary glands are the distinguishing feature of mammals.

    Hence the name: mammal... I suggest that the original respondent listen to the song "Mammal" by They Might be Giants. That might clear things up...

    My mammary glands don't work. There is a tap but the internal plumbing doesn't seem to be connected.

    Sometimes you have to prime the pump to get it flowing.

    Monotremes ARE mammals! I learned in 2nd grade that platypuses are, in fact, mammals. They may lay eggs, but they have mammary glands and body hair, and as such are classified as mammals!

    EDIT: Never mind. Everyone else already said all of this.
