Who Am I? Animal Babies. Australia

My beak is as broad as that of a duck, my fur is as soft as that of a mink and my legs are webbed for swimming. Although I was born from an egg, I’m a mammal. Who am I?

In Australia we can see mammals that do not suck and are born from an egg, such as the platypus and the echidna. We also find the kangaroo, which are born very small and go into their mother’s pouch until they are old enough to go outside.
