These animals live on the land, fly in the air, and swim in the sea. | Lesson 2: Mammals with Eggs or PouchesWhen most people think about mammals, they rarely think about egg-laying or marsupial mammals. | Lesson 3: Mammals That Eat InsectsSince insects provide a concentrated source of protein, some mammals have specialized in hunting and eating them. | Lesson 4: Afrotherians (Elephants, Hyraxes, Elephant Shrews, and Sea Cows)Biologists have recently decided to group animals that arose from an ancient order of mammals as Afrotherians. The some of the animals that share this common ancestor are elephants, elephant shrews, and hyraxes (dassies). | Lesson 5: Strange and Wonderful MammalsWith the exception of rabbits, xenarthra and lagomorphs are odd-looking mammals. These animals include sloths, armadillos, and pikas. | Lesson 6: Mammals That Gnaw: RodentsWhat makes rodents unique are their gnawing and chewing abilities. Basically vegetarians, rodents can gnaw through the toughest tree wood and crack open the hardest nuts with their teeth. | Lesson 7: Meat Eaters (Carnivora)Carnivores are hunters and eaters of meat. These animals have become so successful that they have split into two groups of cat-like and dog-like carnivores. | Lesson 8: Mammals That Live in TreesTree-living mammals have certain advantages over those that live on the ground. For one thing, they are safe from predators that live on the ground. | Lesson 9: Mammals with Hooves (Ungulates): Even-ToedArtiodactyls have two toes on each foot for walking. Once people domesticated these animals, they obtained a ready supply of meat and muscle power. | Lesson 10: Mammals with Hooves (Ungulates): Odd-ToedKnown as perissodactyls, horses, rhinos, and tapirs have middle toes which are larger than their other toes. | Lesson 11: Mammals That Live In OceansThe mammals that spend most of their time in water have special adaptations for swimming and diving. |
