Trivia: Australia is the native habitat of monotremes, which includes what animal?
Koalas
Tasmanian devils
Platypuses
Saltwater crocodiles
The correct answer is Platypuses
So why is this answer correct? : The Outback is home to some of the world’s most unique animals. One rare group of mammals that has made a home here are monotremes — ones that lay soft shells, a very unusual trait within the mammal classification. The two types of monotremes are platypuses and echidnas (which look like spiny anteaters). The platypus is also the only known Australian animal that is venomous — males have venomous spurs above their heels.
