Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The placental mammalian counterpart of Australia's spiny anteater, also known as the echidna, is the giant anteater. Both the echidna and the giant anteater belong to the order Monotremata, which is unique among mammals in laying eggs instead of giving live birth. However, while the echidna is found in Australia and New Guinea, the giant anteater is found in Central and South America. The other choices listed (Tasmanian devil, aardvark, and woolly lemur) are not closely related to the echidna and do not share its unique features.
