Mammals

The first Group Scientists separated mammals into three different groups

1. The first group is monotremes.

2. These strange mammals live in Australia and New Zealand and lay eggs just like birds.

3. there are two monotremes, a Echidna also called a Spiny Anteater and a Duck Billed Platypus

The second Group

1. The second group is called Marsupials.

2. Kangaroos and koalas who raise their young in an outside pouch are marsupials.

The third Group

1. The largest and third group is the Placentals. The members of this group have young who develop fully inside the mother until they are ready to be born.

2. Humans belong to this group of mammals.

3. There are marine mammals to.

Where and What ? Mammals live in almost every environment Every continent has its own number of

interesting mammals. Africa has lions, giraffes, and zebras. China has giant pandas and tigers. Europe and North America have bears and

deer's. Australia is the only continent that has egg-

laying monotremes and marsupials. and many more

Habitat Africa Giraffes: Giraffes habitat is at Savannas of Africa because they can

roam freely with tall trees, dessert land, close forests and open plains. What they eat: giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically acacia trees.

giraffes can go for many days without water Lions: Lions are now found in the Sahara Desert and in parts of

Southern and Eastern Africa. They like to live in grassy open places so it is easier for them to catch their prey.

What they eat: Lions are carnivores meaning they eat meat such as birds and huskies (dogs)

Zebras: Zebras live in grasslands and plains of Africa What they eat: Zebras are herbivores meaning they eat plants

Habitat China Giant Pandas: Giant pandas live in the mountainous temperate forests

of southwest China What they eat: Giant Pandas eat bamboo Giant Pandas are endangered animals there are only 1,600 counting

160 Giant Pandas in the zoos Tigers: Tigers live in eastern Asia. Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India,

Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, Indonesia (Sumatra), and the Russian far east are some of the countries where tigers are found. Tigers live in a diverse array of habitats such as tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, evergreen forests, grasslands, savannahs, and rocky areas.

What they eat: Tigers are carnivores so they eat meat such Sambar deer, Gaur, Chital, Barasingha, Wild Boar, Nilgai, Water Buffalo, Leopards, Pythons, Sloth Bears, Crocodiles, Sika Deer, Moose, Roe Deer, Musk Deer, Malayan Tapir, Camels, Yak, Antelope.

Habitat Europe and North America Deer’s: Deer’s live in the forests and the woods What they eat: Deer’s eat apple’s, persimmon, mushrooms, dandelions,

wild roses and red clovers in the winter they eat fallen leaves, twigs, and small buds from trees and bushes.

Bears: Bears live in the forests, in caves and mountains what do bears eat: Brown bears and polar bears are the largest land

carnivores. The polar bear is the heaviest of all bears. It weighs over 400 kg and is the only bear whose diet consists almost entirely of meat.

Most bears eat more plants than meat. Large, active mammals such as bears need a lot of food. Plant food supplies less energy than meat, so bears that mostly eat plants must spend much of their day looking for roots, nuts, fruits, and berries they can eat. Bears have back teeth, called molars that are flat and well designed to grind vegetation. The giant panda is the one bear that eats only plants. Its diet consists almost entirely of bamboo.

Habitat Australia Echidna: Echidnas live in bushland and woodlands,

rocky areas as long as the soil is loose enough to dig, snowy mountains, sandy plains, heath and grasslands.

What they eat: Echidnas eat termites and ants Platypus: lakes, ponds, streams, as well as rivers. What do they eat: A duck Billed Platypus eats insect

larvae, shrimps and worms

Habitat Australia Kangaroos: Kangaroos live in forests and woodland areas

to grassy plains and savannas. What they eat: kangaroos are herbivores so they eat

leaves, grass, shrubs and many more Koalas: some koalas live in the south of Australia where

they live on tree’s so they can eat leaves.

Information

Mammal all have Mammary Glands A Mammary Gland is how mammals feed there

baby milk. Mammary Galnds or another name for it is

breast All Mammals are warm blooded The group, Placental is named after an organ

called a placenta. Placenta is an organ that connects the growing fetus to the uterine wall to let nutrient's take up, waste cut, and gas switched via the mother's blood supply

Reproduction

Most mammals, except Monotremes and Marsupials, are placental mammals. Yaks, rabbits, cows, hippopotamuses, and humans all are included in this group.

Mammals reproduce by meeting a sperm and egg inside the female’s body by a stage called internal fertilization.
