List of monotremes and marsupials
The class Mammalia is divided into two subclasses based on reproductive techniques: egg-laying mammals, and mammals which give live birth. The latter subclass is divided into two infraclasses: pouched mammals, and placental mammals. Classification updated from Wilson and Reeder's "Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference" using the "Planet Mammifères" website.
