| Mammals A to Z |
What are mammals?
Mammals are a group of vertebrate animals. Examples of mammals include rats, cats, dogs, deer, monkeys, apes, bats, whales, dolphins, and humans.
Characteristics of Mammals:
Warm-blooded vertebrates – Mammals are endothermic, meaning they have a constant body temperature. Mammals are also vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone
Red Blood Cells Without Nucleus – Mammals have adult (mature) red blood cells, known as erythrocytes, that lack a nucleus. This is unique compared to other vertebrates.
Has hair or fur – Mammals commonly have hair, or fur.
Contains a Malleus, Incus, and stapes – The Malleus is a small bone in the middle ear that is shaped like a hammer. It connects the inner surface of the eardrum with the incus. Given it’s shape, the name is derived from the Latin word for ‘mallet’. The incus is shaped like an anvil and serves a similar function, vibrating to transmit sound. The stapes is a stirrup shaped bone. Together they form the ‘hammer, anvil, and stirrup’, three of the smallest bones in the human body. The stapes is the actual smallest.
Able to produce milk – Mammals contain mammary glands. These glands give them the ability to produce milk to feed their offspring.
A diaphragm – Mammals have a diaphragm sitting between their heart and lungs
Hinged Lower Jaw Connected To Skull – Mammals have a hinged lower jaw that connects directly to the skull.
Left aortic arch – In mammals, the fourth (left) pharyngeal artery is most commonly the arch of the aorta. This differs compared to other animal types. There can be rare cases where mammals have a right aortic arch variant.
Neocortex – Mammals commonly have a neocortex in their brain. This specialized region allows them to both hear and see.
Live Birth – Mammals are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live babies.
