Mammals
Explore educational facts about mammals, including big cats, hoofed animals, marsupials, bears, and other warm-blooded wildlife.
Mammals are one of the most familiar animal groups because they include many of the species people grow up learning about first. They are warm-blooded vertebrates, they feed milk to their young, and they live in almost every major habitat on Earth. Some mammals race across open grasslands, some climb through forests, some dig below ground, and a few even glide or swim with remarkable efficiency.
