Although all of these animals are classed as mammals, the echidna is a monotreme - an egg laying mammal.

Answer: Famous ships

HMS Beagle was the ship Charles Darwin sailed in on his trip to the Galapagos Islands. USS Enterprise was an aircraft carrier (as well as being a star ship on "Star Trek"). HMS Exeter was one of the ships (along with Ajax and Achilles) that forced the German raider Graf Spee into Montevideo harbour in 1939, resulting eventually in the scuttling of the German ship.

A beagle is a delightful dog, and Exeter is a place in Devon (and Ontario, and New Hampshire), but enterprise doesn't fit either description. A bugle is a musical instrument, but what to do with the letter A then? Only "ships" fits all three.
