1. Mammals By: Joselle Gonzales and Mary joy visda

2. The first Group Scientists separated mammals into three different groups • The first group is monotremes. • These strange mammals live in Australia and New Zealand and lay eggs just like birds. • there are two monotremes, a Echidna also called a Spiny Anteater and a Duck Billed Platypus

3. The second Group • The second group is called Marsupials. • Kangaroos and koalas who raise their young in an outside pouch are marsupials.

4. The third Group • 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. • Humans belong to this group of mammals. • There are marine mammals to.

5. 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

6. 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 birdsand huskies (dogs) • Zebras: Zebras live in grasslands and plains of Africa • What they eat: Zebras are herbivores meaning they eat plants

7. 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 Sambardeer, 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.

8. 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.

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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

12. 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.
