Skip to next paragraph Related Web Link The Delayed Rise of Present-Day Mammals (Nature) In fact, the ancestral branches of most mammals, including primates, rodents and hoofed animals, emerged long before the global extinction and survived it more or less intact. But it was not until at least 10 million to 15 million years afterward that the lineages of living mammals began to flourish in number and diversity. Some mammals did benefit from the extinction, but these were not closely related to extant lineages and most of them soon died off.

African Marine Mammals With the help of marine mammal scientists in the United States and abroad, the information on these pages has been pulled together to provide a brief overview of the marine mammal species that can be found in African waters. Where possible, information about localized research and/or species distribution in Africa has been included. These pages were compiled by Nicole Le Boeuf who is now at the National Marine Fisheries Service's Office of Protected Resources and Dagmar Fertl of the Minerals Management Service. The pages are designed to be public-friendly. They include information on the description, biology, current threats to these species, and much more. If you would like to contribute information, especially pertaining to specific research findings in Africa or would like to submit photographs to be included in the pages, please feel free to contact Brent Hall at bshall@cox.net Class: Mammalia Order: Cetacea Suborder: Mysticeti (baleen whales) Family: Balaenidae (right whales) Caperea marginata Pygmy right whale Eubalaena australis Southern right whale Family: Balaenopteridae (rorquals) Balaenoptera acutorostrata Minke whale Balaenoptera borealis Sei whale Balaenoptera edeni Bryde's whale Balaenoptera musculus Blue whale Balaenoptera physalus Fin whale Megaptera novaeangliae Humpback whale Suborder: Odontoceti (toothed whales) Family: Delphinidae (oceanic dolphins) Cephalorhynchus heavisidii Heaviside's dolphin Delphinus delphis Common dolphin Feresa attenuata Pygmy killer whale Globicephala macrorhynchus

Oceanography Space Sciences Blow the Ballast! CyberMail ... Teachers' Corner Ocean Life: Mammals -Characteristics Mammals are a group of vertebrates (animals that have a backbone). Certain characteristics separate them from all other animals: mammals breathe air through lungs, give birth to live young, produce milk for their young, are warm-blooded, and have hair or fur. They also have relatively large brains and a variety of tooth sizes and shapes. Marine mammals have adapted to life in the ocean. More than 100 mammals depend on the ocean for most or all of their life needs. Marine mammals have all the characteristics of mammals, but they have different appearances and survival strategies. A group of walrus sun themselves on a beach (courtesy of NOAA). A manatee cow and calf (courtesy of NOAA). Marine mammals are divided into three orders: Carnivora Sirenia and Cetacea . Within the order Carnivora are the pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, walruses), the sea otter, and the polar bear. Polar bears are closely related to bears like the grizzly, but are considered marine mammals since they have adopted a marine lifestyle. The order Sirenia is composed of manatees and dugongs (or sea cows), and the order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

But first, in order to appreciate that diversity, we need to understand how it has evolved, and what a complicated series of geological, climatic and biological events have led up to the present day situation. Therefore, we will review briefly the history of life on earth. Visit the virtual Museum of Paleontology at the University of California at Berkeley to find more information and illustrations regarding any of the topics or geological periods mentioned. Geological Time The chart shows the life forms that have been present on the earth since Cambrian times, and whose fossils are therefore found in different layers of rocks. Each time a new layer of rock is deposited (usually by sedimentation) it is on top of the older layers, so the chart reflects this order.

Staff Directory Search: Home Data Mammalian Genome Project The mammalian genome project is a NIH-funded effort to expand the current genome coverage of the mammals ( human chimpanzee mouse dog ... opposum ) by sequencing 24 additional mammals to low-coverage (2x). The goal is to create low coverage genome assemblies and align resulting sequence to the human genome to permit comparative genomic analysis. The Broad Institute is sequencing 15 mammals, while two other centers are sequencing the other 9 mammals. We are also developing algorithms to identify regions of sequence similarity across species, which have persisted through evolution and are indicative of genomic functionality. These regions include genes and smaller regulatory elements, such as transcription factor binding sites, which play key roles in determining the activation of genes and pathways in different cellular contexts. The mammals receiving low coverage sequence were chosen primarily to maximize the total branch length of the evolutionary tree. Emphasis was also placed on organisms that represent the diversity of the mammalian tree and, where possible, are biologically useful models.

However, in many categories other animals have us beat, paws down. The Biggest blue whale Balenoptera musculus ), a massive creature that survives on plankton. In comparison, the bull African elephant Loxodonta Africana ) is the largest land animal, and it weighs a mere 12 tons. The Smallest The title "smallest mammal" is only slightly smaller than the animal it describes. A native of Thailand, measuring 1.14-1.3 inches and weighing 0.06-0.07 ounces, Craseonycteris thonglongyai ), or bumblebee bat , truly earns its title. Bumblebee Bat (Image: Tim Menzies Etruscan Pygmy Shrew (Image: Stella Nutella [ wikipedia The smallest land mammal, the pygmy shrew Suncus etruscus Even though their diminutive stature places them eye to eye with many snails and insects, these two animals are true warm-blooded vertebrates: they are covered with hair, and their females produce milk - mammals to the core. The Fastest As might be expected, the winner in this category depends on the terrain. Mammals are found in the air, water, and land, and each domain requires different types of locomotion skills.
