The class Mammalia (mammals) is divided into two subclasses based on reproductive techniques: monotremes, which lay eggs, and therians, mammals which give live birth, which has two infraclasses: marsupials/metatherians and placentals/eutherians. See List of monotremes and marsupials, and for the clades and families, see Mammal classification. Classification updated from the VertLife website.[1]
