Mammals Mammals have several unique characteristics that differentiate them from other animals. Most mammals have hair, or fur, covering their body. They are also capable of regulating their body temperature. The mammals metabolism controls heat production, and the sweat glands help cool the body. These allow the mammal to maintain a constant body temperature, regardless of the environmental temperature. One other difference is that mammals give birth to fully formed babies, and the female mammals produce milk to feed their young. Most mammals walk on 4 legs, with only the humans walking upright on 2 legs. Aquatic mammals have flippers, or fins, for swimming rather than legs. Common mammals include: primates, such humans and monkeys; marsupials; rodents; whales; dolphins; and, seals. Click on the name or picture of the mammal below for more information.

Information is provided to various domestic and international organizations to assist in developing rational and appropriate management regimes for marine resources under NOAA's jurisdiction. These organizations include the NMFS Alaska and Northwest Regional Offices, the NMFS Office of Protected Resources, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the International Whaling Commission, and the Arctic Council. Research conducted by NMML utilizes a variety of methods and tools to obtain needed information. Determination of status and trends of marine mammal populations requires information on abundance, stock structure, mortality and net productivity. To obtain these data, censuses are carried out from ships, aircraft and on land. Radio and satellite-linked telemetry is utilized to determine movements and migrations, critical feeding areas and depths, and other behavioral data. Sophisticated analyses and modeling are carried out to determine necessary population parameters. Research programs are carried out cooperatively with many other federal, state and private sector collaborators.

29. Strange Science: Mammals Over the centuries, our understanding of mammals, both living and extinct, has improved considerably. Just the same, scientists have made some mistakes. http://www.strangescience.net/stmam2.htm

Year: Author: Thomas Coryate (or Coriate) Originally published in: Thomas Coriate Traveller for the English Wits: Greeting: From the Court of the Grand Mogul, Resident at the Towne of Asmere, in Easterne India Now appears in: The Book Nobody Read by Owen Gingerich Coryate claimed to see two unicorns in his travels to India. As astronomer and science historian Owen Gingerich has observed, this woodcut is trimmed, which suggests that the picture was actually copied from an earlier work (perhaps Conrad Gesner's). One reason unicorns held such fascination for medieval and Renaissance Europeans was that their horns, called alicorns, were thought to protect their owners from poison. Europe's royal families often acquired political power by poisoning their enemies, and some of the upper crust may not have been above testing their concoctions on their own family members. Year: Artist: Erhard Reuwich Originally published in: Perigrinationes ad Terram Sanctam Now appears in: The Unicorn by Nancy Hathaway Year: Scientist/artist: Nicolaus Witsen Originally published in: Noord en Oost Tartarye Now appears in: The Lore of the Unicorn by Odell Shepard These narwhal skull illustrations have a minor error in that the furrows run clockwise, which they apparently don't do in nature. This small mistake, however, is more than offset by the much bigger mistake the illustration corrects. The adult males of these marine mammals have ivory tusks extending from the left side of the upper jaw. These tusks, often sold as alicorns, had long been believed to be unicorn horns.

Print Mammals of Costa Rica by Christopher Baker ; created 1995 Given the rich diversity of Costa Rica's ecosystems, it may come as a surprise that there are only 200 mammal species in the nation, half of which are bats. And Costa Rica, like most neotropical countries, has "a depauperate marine mammal flora," in the words of one biologist. Several species of dolphins and seven species of whales are common in Costa Rican waters, but there are no seals. And the only endemic species of any significance is the endangered manatee. Before man hunted them to extinction, there were many more mammal species. Even today all large and many small mammal populations are subject to extreme hunting pressure or habitat destruction, and it is only recently that large-mammal populations in the national parks are beginning to recover. Like most large mammals, jaguars and tapirs are shy and stay well clear of people. Sighting one would be cause for great celebration! Still, most visitors can expect to see one or more species of monkeys, one of Costa Rica's four ecologically unique tropical mammals; the others are sloths, anteaters, and noninsectivorous bats. And luck, patience, and the aid of a professional guide can lead to thrilling encounters with other species.

36. Mammals Mesozoic mammals tended to be somewhat insignificant limited fossil evidence indicated holding to conservative mouse-like form and quadrupedal locomotion http://www.shsu.edu/~bio_mlt/mammals.html

MAMMALIAN CHARACTERISTICS Many of the most important and diagnostic mammalian characteristics serve to further intelligence and sensibility, promote endothermy, or to increase the efficiency of reproduction or the securing and processing of food. Basic structural body plan is inherited from Therapsid mammal-like reptiles. Survival through mammalian evolution was perhaps due to their ability to move and to think more quickly than their Archosaurian counterparts. Morphological trends were toward structural simplification: • skull and jaw bones lost or reduced in size • limbs and limb girdles simplified, reduced, and less laterally splayed Fossil record provides little evidence on when endothermy actually developed. Diagnostic or Distinguishable Characteristics of Mammals: Soft Tissues Skin glands: Mammalian skin contains several kinds of glands not found in other vertebrates. Mammary Glands: Provide nourishment for the young during their postnatal period of rapid growth. Milk Composition: Milk composition varies with species: Cow’s milk 85% H2O Dry weight 20% Fat 20% Proteins 60% Sugars - largely lactose also have sweat, sebaceous, scent, and musk glands

37. Mammals For Youngsters Well zoologists, I happen to have 4 other very special mammals close by. I would love for you to take the time to get to know them. http://www.can-do.com/uci/ssi2000/mammals.html

"How Scientific" Becoming a Mammal Expert Created by Julie Young Irvine Unified School District Address: http://www.can-do.com/uci/ssi2000/mammals.html Welcome I am an endangered mammal who lives in the rain forest, but since I live in the zoo my expected life span is about 37 years. Not all gorillas like me live here in the zoo with me. Most of them live in Zaire, Rwanda, and Uganda. Four to thirty gorillas live together in troops. They build nests on the ground or up in trees. They like to eat leaves, shoots, and buds. Well, enough about me. I am really excited about our time together. Before we get started, make sure you grab paper, a pencil, and a positive attitude. Are you ready? Put on your safari hat and let the adventure begin!!! First, there is someone special that I would like you to meet. Her name is Zany Zoologist. She is absolutely crazy about working with animals. She especially likes working with mammals. Hi Zany, how are you today? Great! I'm so glad that you have come by today, Gus. Zany, can I ask you a question?

38. Paleocene Mammals Of The World Site about the fossil mammals known from the Paleocene epoch. Contains an introduction to Paleocene mammals and a list of genera and species with their http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/

Paleocene mammals of the world by Martin Jehle Skull of Deltatherium fundaminis , one of the first Paleocene mammals described from North America (see here for a restoration). Its relationships are still debated. From Williamson (1996). The first 10 million years of the age of mammals Despite this impressive diversification, most Paleocene mammals are still on a primitive level of anatomy in comparison to mammals of today. Often they show only the first beginning of specializations that characterize their descendants from later epochs, such as optimization of the teeth for a special kind of food or adaptations of the limbs to fast running. The Paleocene mammalian fauna is therefore often called archaic. The beginning of the following epoch, the Eocene, brought about an important modernization of this fauna. Several groups of mammals with more modern appearance spread over the northern hemisphere at this time, whereas the decline of the archaic forms started. The Paleocene is a crucial time in the history mammals. Unfortunately, mammal fossils from this epoch are either scarce or entirely unknown in many parts of the world. Thus we can only speculate how the fauna of whole continents looked after the extinction of dinosaurs. Even where fossils occur, most species are only known from their characteristic teeth, and skeletons are only known for a few forms. Nevertheless, knowledge of Paleocene mammals is steadily increasing. This website tries to summarize what we know about these first ten million years of the age of mammals.
