Also all mammals, other than the monotremes , give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. Most mammals also possess specialized teeth and use a placenta in the ontogeny . The mammalian brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a four-chambered heart . Mammals encompass approximately 5,400 species , ranging in size from the Bumblebee Bat , (30-40mm), to the Blue Whale , (33,000mm), distributed in about 1,200 genera families , and 29 orders though this varies by classification scheme Most mammals belong to the placental group.

Humans are mammals. The word mammal comes from the Latin mamma , meaning breast, because female mammals produce milk to nurse their babies. Nearly all mammals give birth to live young, and all are warm-blooded, maintaining a near-constant body temperature regardless of environmental conditions. They are vertebrates and use lungs to breathe air and are the only animals that grow hair. Mammals probably appeared on Earth some 200 million years ago.

placental mammal , a group also called Eutheria by scientists. Placental mammals are one of three major groups of living mammals. Marsupials , or Metatheria, form another. This group includes all of the pouched animals, such as oppossums, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils. The third group, the monotremes , are far less diverse and less well known. They are warm-blooded, have hair, and produce milk just like other mammals, but they lay eggs and do not give live birth like marsupials and placentals. A fourth major group, the Multituberculata , are entirely extinct, though they were once widespread and successful. To explore the world of mammals, click on the group of your choice in the image below. Mammals themselves are part of a larger tetrapod group called the Synapsida . Synapsids make up one of the two largest groups of amniote vertebrates. Note that not all synapsids were mammals. A non-mammalian member of Synapsida is Thrinaxodon . The Thrinaxodon exhibit is of special interest because it uses CAT-scan technology to view the internal structure of a Thrinaxodon skull.

Systematists do not yet agree on the exact number or on how some orders and families are related to others. The Animal Diversity Web generally follows the arrangement used by Wilson and Reeder (2005). Exciting new information, however, coming from phylogenies based on molecular evidence and from new fossils, is changing our understanding of many groups. For example, skunks have been placed in the new family Mephitidae , separate from their traditional place within the Mustelidae (Dragoo and Honeycutt 1997, Flynn et al., 2005). The Animal Diversity Web follows this revised classification. Whales almost certainly arose from within the Artiodactyla (Matthee et al. 2001; Gingerich et al. 2001).

Welcome to the Incredible World of Mammals Introduction Look around you sometime, the chances are that if you see an animal it is a mammal. Mammals are the dominant life form on this planet at the moment, at least from a human perspective. There are about 4260 species of mammals known on this planet at the moment, though taxonomists are still arguing and species are still being found. Who are the 21st Century Mammals? Mammals are not the most speciose animal group on the planet, three other groups of vertebrates out-number them at the moment, Reptiles 6787 species, Birds 9703 species and Fishes with approximately 32000 species. Invertebrates, of course, have groups with huge numbers of species that outnumber all the vertebrates put together; Molluscs 80 000 and Insects 1 000 000; while Arachnids with a mere 44 000 species still outnumber any 3 groups of vertebrates put together. Mammals however are big. You can see them easily, and perhaps most importantly you are one. Mammals are there, everywhere you look; large warm-blooded, four-limbed vertebrates whose females produce milk (see What is a Mammal ). Elephants and Whales, Pigs, Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, Rats and of course Human beings (that's you and me) are all mammals.

HOME Search Coloring Pages Crafts for Kids ... Sunday School Mammals are one of the 6 main classes of animals. Animal classes are groups of animals that scientists consider to be alike in some important ways. Mammals are the animal class that people belong to. There are only about 4,000 kinds of mammals. This sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are 21,000 kinds of fish and a whopping 800,000 kinds of insects you’ll realize mammals are a pretty small class! Here are some of the ways that mammals are alike! Mammals are warm blooded. The temperature could be freezing cold or boiling hot, but mammals’ bodies are built to maintain just about the same temperature all the time. Warm blood lets the mammals be very active and live in a wide variety of places. Mammals are everywhere. Polar bears live in very cold areas. Camels live in hot areas. Moles live under the ground. Bats live in caves and fly in the air. Dolphins live in the oceans. Fur and fat help protect mammals who live in the cold. Mammals sweat or pant to release extra heat if they live somewhere toasty.

Mammals are vertebrate animals that are endothermic , have hair on their bodies, and produce milk to feed their babies. Many mammals give birth to live young that are small and helpless. Producing milk to feed them allows them to develop more slowly and spend time with the adults as they grow up, learning the skills they need to survive . Regulating their own body temperature and having hair of various thicknesses for protection has also allowed mammals to live in almost every habitat on Earth.

Mammals are a group of animals with backbones, bodies covered by hair, nurse their young with milk, and have a unique jaw articulation. Mammals are also the group of animals to which humans belong. Belize has approximately 145 mammal species living within its boundaries. Mammals exist within all the different habitats of Belize, from the manatee and dolphins of the coastal zone, to the 5 different species of wildcat which live deep within the rainforests of the Maya Mountains. The rainforest mammals of Belize tend to be very secretive and mostly nocturnal. This makes them extremely difficult to see. They usually see, hear, smell, or feel you long before you them. Rainforest mammals do not stand out in the open for easy viewing, but instead climb through the canopy or scurry over the forest floor well ahead of you. That is one reason the Belize Zoo is such a special place. Here you can see many of the rainforest species of Belize easily. A visit to the zoo is the best way to get an introduction to the animals of Belize, and to understand why it is important to protect the habitats that sustain them. We hope this website will be the next best thing to visiting us in person. Jaguar Margay Ocelot Coati ... Naturalight Productions Ltd.

Mammals What is a Mammal? Mammals are animals that are born with fur or hair. Mammals produce live young which they nourish with milk. They are warm-blooded and have the most highly developed nervous system of all the animals. A mammal usually has four limbs and a four-chambered heart. The largest mammal is the blue whale at 100 feet in length. The smallest mammals are shrews, mice, and bats. Many are less than two inches long, excluding the tail length. Click on the name of the animal below to see a picture of its tracks and some natural history information about it. I have also included some personal notes about each species. The species below are primarily those that can be found in northern California and the west. Some of them are found throughout the U. S.
