An egg-laying and venomous mammal (8)

I believe the answer is:

platypus

(Other definitions for platypus that I've seen before include "Australian mammal with large bill and webbed feet" , "venomous mammal" , "Australian resident" , "Egg-laying mammal" , "Aquatic creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
