Monotremes, let's have a thread about them.

If you were to eat an unfertilized monotreme egg what like would it be?

They have almost no yolk in their eggs, so an unfertilized monotreme egg would be mostly empty.
they're also really small and remain attached to the mom in the case of the echidna.

If you pull of her egg would she die?

Sometimes I wonder what prehistoric monotremes were like.

I mean, they probably wouldn't be too different from the modern day platypus and echidna, but still

yeah, probably just lived in burrows and ate bugs, but the ones without bills would be cool to look at

The ancient Gian platypus was about the size of a medium sized dog. It's bill had small teeth do gripping on to its prey, but other than that it was pretty much the same.
