    mammals are also warmblooded animals, which means they are able to keep their body temperatures stable whether it is cold or hot outside.

    Extractions: Mammals are a class of vertebrates. They are called vertebrates because they have a backbone. Mammals are also warm-blooded animals, which means they are able to keep their body temperatures stable whether it is cold or hot outside. Mammals live both on land and in water. There are about 4,500 species of mammals. They live in all parts of the world. What makes a mammal different from other animals? Most mammals have fur or hair that covers their bodies. The heart of a mammal always has four chambers. Mammals give birth to live young (except for the platypus and the spiny anteater, which lay eggs). The female has mammary glands, which secrete milk to feed the young after birth. Some mammals eat meat (carnivores) while others, like shrews and bats, eat insects (insectivores). Herbivores, like deer and rabbits, feed on vegetation. Omnivores, like bears and rats, will eat both plants and meat. Some examples of mammals are cats, dogs, bears, foxes, raccoons, and skunks. Rodents (rats, mice, beavers and squirrels) and hoofed animals (horses, deer, cattle) are mammals, too. Other mammals include primates (monkey, lemur, humans), and others such as the bat and elephant. Aquatic mammals include the seal, walrus, whale, and dolphin.

    Extractions: Main Readings 4th Grade Readings Table of Contents Part 6: Mammals Part 6: Mammals Around two hundred million years ago, a new type of vertebrate animal appeared on the scene. It was a very small animal which had evolved from reptiles. While the huge dinosaurs ruled the land, these tiny animals were underfoot. But when the dinosaurs became extinct, these animals were still there. They were the first mammals. Mammal Traits Like reptiles and bird, mammals have lungs. Mammals are warm-blooded like the birds (and maybe the dinosaurs). They can live and stay warm in cold places, like the birds. What makes mammals different from other vertebrates? For one thing, they have fur or hair. This helps keep them warm. They also take even better care of their young than birds can, because they feed their young with milk. Mammals have large brain sizes compared to their bodies, and they have strong teeth. They are very good at surviving on the earth. There are only about 5,000 species of mammals, compared to 22,000 species of fish, but they live everywhere. Mammal Life Cycle Birds protect their young and feed them after they are hatched, but mammals go one step farther. They grow their young inside their bodies. Female mammals have eggs, but the male fertilizes the eggs inside the female's body as with birds. Unlike bird eggs, fertilized mammal eggs grow and change inside the mother's uterus instead of being hatched outside in a nest. When mammal young are born, the mother continues to protect them, feeding them milk from her body. Only mammals have milk.

One mammal, however, takes up more space in Missouri than any other: humans. All mammals are endothermic ("warm-blooded") and most species have hair. Mammals have mammary glands, which, in females, produce milk to feed young. Nearly 70 species of wild mammals live in Missouri. Another six species no longer occur naturally in Missouri, including gray and red wolves, bison, white-tailed jackrabbit, Ozark big-eared bat and elk. The smallest are the masked shrew and least shrew at 2 3/4 inches long; they each weigh the same as a penny. The largest mammal in Missouri is the black bear at 6.5 feet long and a weight of up to 600 pounds. Mountain Lions in Missouri?

Contact Us text size: printer friendly Shenandoah National Park White-tailed deer Over 50 species of mammals live in Shenandoah National Park. Virtually all park visitors see some mammals, such as white-tailed deer and gray squirrels. Others, like the big brown bat, striped and spotted skunks are more elusive, remaining largely out of sight until darkness falls. Black bears and bobcats, though active during the day, seem to remain hidden deep in the forest. The smallest mammals (moles, voles, and shrews) found in the park are rarely seen because they spend much of their lives underground or hidden under leaves and low growing plants. Careful observation should bring rewards in finding most of the wild inhabitants of the park. Just as the number and distribution of mammals varies somewhat from year to year, the number of species present in the park changes over time. Coyotes, an adaptable predator not native to Virginia, are continuing to expand their range eastward and have been documented in the park. In addition, although not substantiated by park staff observations, reports of cougar sightings are received regularly from the public. Cougars, believed to have been eliminated from the park decades ago, may be recovering naturally or may have expanded into the park from re-introductions elsewhere.

The animals that make up the climax community - more specifically the mammals, our focus in this set of activities - are all adapted for living in each ecosystem. However, what do those adaptations look like? How do we recognize an adaptation? Is there a reason behind a particular adaptation and if so, what is it? We also consider behavior of mammals. Why do dogs circle before they lie down? Where does this behavior come from?

About the Animals Mammals choose from the links below for animals found at the Zoo: There are more than 5,000 known species of mammals alive today. There are three major groups: monotremes (egg-laying mammals), marsupials (pouched mammals) and placentals (mammals whose babies develop inside the mother's womb, fed by a placenta). By far the largest group is the placentals - that's where human beings fit in. There are several characteristics that all of us have in common: 1) we nurse our young from mammary glands, hence the name "mammals;" 2) we have hair or fur. Other things that tend to set us apart as a group include our adaptability and our relatively large brains. Almost all mammal babies suckle milk from their mother's teats, though some babies nurse on hairs near the mammary glands. Young mammals mature more slowly than most other animals, and most usually "graduate" from milk to other food later in their development.

55. Small Mammals - National Zoo| FONZ
    Did you know that most mammals are small? In fact, the vast majority of mammal species measure less than one foot in head and body length.  
    http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/SmallMammals/
    
    Extractions: North America Mammals vary in size from the 100-foot-long blue whale to the two-gram bumblebee bat, one of the world's most endangered species. Most mammals measure less than one foot (including the head and body). That makes small mammals far more common, if less well known, than large mammals like elephants, tigers, and people. Small mammals cut across categories. Most species are rodents (such as the naked mole-rat ), insectivores, and bats, but there are also carnivores, such as Asian small-clawed otters , and primates, such as golden lion tamarins and lemurs The Small Mammal House recently welcomed two new species to its exhibits: northern tree shrews and greater Madagascar tenrecs Northern tree shrews , native to Southeast Asia, build a nest for their young, in addition to their own nest. After giving birth, females nurse their young every two days and essentially ignore them between feedings.
