TED-ED: The three different ways mammals give birth - Kate Slabosky

The video explores the diversity of mammals, focusing on their common features and unique reproductive methods. It categorizes mammals into placental, marsupial, and monotreme groups, highlighting their distinct birthing processes. Placental mammals, like humans and whales, develop embryos with a placenta. Marsupials, such as kangaroos, give birth to underdeveloped young that mature in a pouch. Monotremes, like the platypus, lay eggs but still share mammalian traits. Despite differences, all mammals are linked by evolutionary traits.

Explain how female kangaroos manage to care for multiple offspring simultaneously.

What unique reproductive feature do monotremes possess compared to other mammals?
