ALL ABOUT MAMMALS

Most mammals live on land, but some live in water, like whales, seals, and dolphins.

Mammals are warm blooded. That means their body temperature doesn't change much.

All mammals have hair, even if it's not thick, they all have hair.

Almost all mammals give birth to live babies. Some mammals, like the platypus, lay eggs.

Baby mammals have to learn a lot of things, like where to find food, how to defend themselves, how take care of young, and so much more! Where do they learn these life skills? From their mother!
In fact, after birth, an elephant calf (baby) depends on its mother to take care of it for 2-3 years!

BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW.....

• The blue whale is the largest mammal living.
• There are about 5,000 species of mammals, but only 5 species lay eggs.
• All female mammals make milk for their young.
• Humans are mammals too!

Mammals are every where!
Do you have a pet dog or cat? They're mammals! Have you ever seen a squerril or rabbit? That's also a mammal! Look in a mirror. You'll see a mammals looking back at you!
