They are monotremes, a group of mammals which can lay eggs.
2 Axolotl
The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, also known as the Mexican walking fish, is a neotenic salamander related to the tiger salamander. Although the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish, but an amphibian. The axolotl is only native to Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco in Mexico. Axolotls in the wild are mostly grassy brown or black, but in captivity, they can even glow in blue light.

Penguins (order Sphenisciforme, family Spheniscid) are a group of aquatic flightless birds. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere: only one species, the Galápagos penguin, is found north of the Equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage and flippers for swimming. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life which they catch with their bills and swallow it whole while swimming. A penguin has a spiny tongue and powerful jaws to grip slippery prey.
They spend roughly half of their lives on land and the other half in the sea. ...read more.

15 Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial native to the island of Tasmania in Australia. It is characterized by its stocky build, black fur, and powerful jaws. Tasmanian devils are known for their fierce temperament and distinctive vocalizations that include screeches and growls. They have a strong bite that enables them to consume bone and cartilage, giving them a reputation as scavengers. Sadly, the Tasmanian devil population has been threatened by a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease, which has led to a significant decline in their numbers. Conservation efforts are in place to help protect this iconic species.
