6. Essential Question What is a mammal?

7. Classifying animals • Taxonomy: science of naming animals based on characteristics they share • Invented by: Carol (Carl) Linnaeus • ALL things (living and non) have 7 names • We use the last 2 • Using last two names is called • Bi(2)nominal nomenclature OR • Scientific classification

8. 7 Names • As you travel down the “ladder” the groups get smaller until you get to one specific animal you’re looking for!

9. Activity Break! • Kingdom - King • Phylum - Phillip • Class - Came • Order - Over • Family - For • Genus - Good • Species - Spaghetti • Activity: Each group come up with your own memory sentence ! You have 3 minutes. Write them on the board to share with the class.

10. Scientific Classification • Always in Latin • Italics (if typed) • Cursive if written • First name is the Genus • Upper case • Second name is the species • Always lowercase • Common name: • The name we use on a daily basis • Example: • Jaguar: (Panthera onca)

11. Mammal: Definition • An animal of the class Mammalia, characterized by being warm-blooded, having hair and feeding milk to its young, have vertebrae

12. Mammal: Characteristics • MUST BE: • Endotherms: warm-blooded, maintain their own body temperature • Example: Humans are always approx 98.6 degrees. You get cold, you put on a ____? • Hair on majority of body • Adaptation to help maintain body heat • Mammary glands • Produce milk for young • Live-bearing: • Give birth to live young

13. Mammal: Exception!?! • Monotremes • Mammal that lays egg • There are only 2! • Platypus - US • Akidna – Australia

14. Basic Mammal Classes / Groups • Subclass Theria • Give birth to live young • Specialized dentition based on diet • Infraclass Metatheria: Marsupials • Babies develop in mother’s pouch • Infraclass Eutheria: Placentals • Babies develop in a placenta inside mother • More developed young at birth

15. Activity • Groups of 3 • Computer Work • Fill in Frayer Model • Mammals • Reptiles • Amphibians • Fish

21. Group Jigsaw! • What is a Jigsaw? • Each person in the group has their own job • Put all the pieces together to form the final picture! • Parts of the Project • Vocabulary • Anatomy • Care • Common Diseases

22. Project Outline : Rubric Overview • Each group will • Give 5+ slides on Chapter in the book • Each person in the group must complete the chapter book work: 30 points (process) • Design a “quiz” for the end: 10 points • No word searched or crosswords! • Cover the following information • Vocabulary : 10 pts • Anatomy : 10 points • Common Diseases : 10 points • Care : 10 points

23. Review • Vocab you learned today: • (Presented by students) • Answer your daily EQ on your map • How are common mammals defined? • Exit Question: Think about it • How do we provide for animal’s needs? • Next Class: • Dog Overview

24. Mammals: Dogs Overview

25. Objectives • Define dog groups • Analyze characteristics of dog groupings

26. Essential Question • How are dogs classified?

27. History • Evolved from wolves • Hunting aides, protection • Humans picked based on desired traits • Selective breeding • animals with the best (most desired) traits kept for breeding • Examples: • Color, Size, Temperament (attitude), abilities

28. Groups of today • Groups are defined by the AKC • American Kennel Club • The American organization responsible for dog registrations of every recognized breed. They also sanction conformation, sporting and other events. • Sporting • Hound • Working • Terrier • Toy • Non-Sporting • Miscellaneous

29. Sporting • Characteristics • Naturally active and alert • likeable, well-rounded companions. • Members of the Group include pointers, retrievers, setters and spaniels. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. • Potential owners need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise.

30. Hound • Characteristics • common ancestral trait of being used for hunting. • acute scenting powers • gift of stamina as they relentlessly run down quarry. • Some hounds share the distinct ability to produce a unique sound known as baying. • Members of the group: There are Pharaoh Hounds, Norwegian Elkhounds, Afghans and Beagles, among others.

31. Working • Characteristics • bred to perform such jobs as guarding property, pulling sleds and performing water rescues. • Quick to learn, these intelligent, capable animals make solid companions • Members of the group include The Doberman Pinscher, Siberian Husky and Great Dane are included in this Group, to name just a few. • Their considerable dimensions and strength alone, however, make many working dogs unsuitable as pets for average families. And again, by virtue of their size alone, these dogs must be properly trained.

32. Terrier • Characteristics • These are feisty, energetic dogs whose sizes range from fairly small • little tolerance for other animals • bred to hunt and kill vermin • have wiry coats that require special grooming • Members of the group include the Norfolk, Cairn or West Highland White Terrier, to the grand Airedale Terrier. • In general, they make engaging pets, but require owners with the determination to match their dogs' lively characters

33. Toy • Characteristics • to embody sheer delight. Don't let their tiny stature fool you, though • popular with city dwellers and people without much living space. • We [AKC] advise everyone to seriously consider getting a small breed, when appropriate, if for no other reason than to minimize some of the problems inherent in canines such as shedding, creating messes and cost of care.

34. Non-Sporting • Characteristics • diverse group. • Members of the group include the Chow Chow, Dalmatian, French Bulldog, and Keeshond, the Schipperke and Tibetan Spaniel

35. Herding • Characteristics • newest AKC classification • ability to control the movement of other animals. • In general, these intelligent dogs make excellent companions and respond beautifully to training exercises. • Members of the group include: Corgies, Old English Sheep dog, Puli and many more

36. General Care • Feeding depends on age • Less meals per day as animal gets older • High in protein • Regular Grooming • Bath, clean ears, brush teeth, clip nails • Depends on coat type = how regular • Training • House break (no potty inside!) • Regular procedures • Nail clipping, brushing, sit, stay, etc • For safety • Exercise • Prevents destructive behavior
