Mammals in general are the warm-blooded, hairy and air-breathing animals.
They all produce milk.
Almost all the mammals live on land. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Dolphins and whales are the aquatic mammals.
With a couple of exceptions, mammals give birth to live young. Platypus and Echidna are the two mammals that lay eggs.
Elephants have huge feet and can weigh more than five tons. But their feet are big, soft and spongy that spread their weight out so well they barely even leave footprints.
Do you know why bats hang upside-down? They hang upside-down because they can't stand right-side up. Their leg bones are too thin to hold up their bodies.
A polar bear looks white, but he isn't really white. His long, shaggy hairs are colorless and hollow. Beneath his hair, the skin is black.
Hippopotamuses give birth and breastfeed under water - despite the fact almost all their predators live in the water.
Kangaroos need very little water to survive and are capable of going for months without drinking at all.
The kangaroo's young one lives in its mother's pouch till its quite large. Even when its quite large it still drinks milk from a teat in its mother's pouch.
An adult koala eats about 1/2 to 1 kg of leaves each night, but the nutrition they get from these leaves is poor. This leaves them with a little energy, so they spend most of their lives sleeping.
All mammals are able to maintain a constant body temperature, irrespective of the environmental temperature. An average body temperature of mammals ranges from 90-104F.
