	Mammal - MSN Encarta
		Most mammals are covered with hair or fur, and most have specialized teeth that help them to cut or chew their food.
		Mammals include some of the most familiar members of the animal kingdom, such as cats, dogs, elephants, and whales, and also human beings—a species that now dominates life on earth.
		The most successful mammals in this environment are ruminants—hoofed species such as buffaloes and antelope—which have a highly specialized digestive system that has evolved to break down cellulose, a tough substance that forms the walls of plant cells.

	The Hall of Mammals
		Placental mammals are one of three major groups of living mammals.
		Mammals themselves are part of a larger tetrapod group called the Synapsida.
		View the Paleocene Mammals page for information about the archaic mammal species that lived between 65 and 55 million years ago.

	Mammal
		Mammal is an animal that feeds its young on the mother's milk.
		Mammals are important not only to people but also to the whole system of life on the earth.
		Mammals that eat flesh, which is easy to digest, have a fairly simple stomach and short intestines.

		Phylogenetically, the Mammalia are defined as the last common ancestor of monotremes (e.g., echidnas) and therian mammals (e.g., hedgehogs), and all of this last common ancestor's descendants.
		Mammals have integumentary systems made up of three layers: the outermost epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.
		Mammals belong among the amniotes, and in particular to a group called the synapsids, distinguished by the shape of their skulls.

	What is a Mammal
		No other animal has hair in the same form as mammals, and all mammals have some hair at least at the beginning of their lives - baby whales and dolphins are born with a moustache.
		Mammals, or Mammalia are a class in the Phylum Chordata and the Subphylum Vertebrata.
		Mammals are heterodontic, meaning that their teeth are different shapes, except those with no teeth at all.

	ADW: Mammalia: Information
		Mammals have evolved to exploit a large variety of ecological niches and life history strategies and, in concert, have evolved numerous adaptations to take advantage of different lifestyles.
		Once mammals are born they must maintain their own body temperatures, no longer being able to depend on their mother for thermoregulation, as was the case during pregnancy.
		Mammals that are common in urban or suburban areas can become a problem if they cause damage to automobiles when they are struck on the road, or can become household pests.

	Marine Mammal Commission
		The Commission was created under Title II of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which took effect on 21 December of that year.
		The Commission's primary focus and duties are the protection and conservation of marine mammals.
		This site provides a single point of information on the activities, programs, and publications of the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors on Marine Mammals, and conveys other relevant information on the conservation and protection of marine mammals and their ecosystems.

	American Museum of Natural History
		Most Mesozoic mammals were the size of today's mice and rats, weighing a few pounds at most and at a distinct size disadvantage in the face of predatory dinosaurs.
		Scientists hypothesized that these primitive mammals remained small because carnivorous and herbivorous reptiles, already on the evolutionary scene, prevented mammals from competing for the food and territory and evolving to become larger.
		Mammals never got a good chance to grow larger, scientists thought, because larger reptiles, including dinosaurs, lived longer, could move faster, and could travel further to find food due to their size advantage.

	Marine Mammals
		The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), enacted in 1972, was the first legislation that called for an ecosystem approach to natural resource management and conservation.
		Authority to manage marine mammals was divided between the Department of the Interior (delegated to the Fish and Wildlife Service) and the Department of Commerce (delegated to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
		A third Federal agency, the Marine Mammal Commission (MMC), was later established to review and make recommendations on the policies and actions of the Service and NOAA related to their implementation of the MMPA.

	SMM STRATEGIES FOR PURSUING A CAREER IN MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE
		Marine mammal scientists are hired because of their skills as scientists, not because they like or want to work with marine mammals.
		Marine mammal studies often involve long, hard, soggy, sunburned days at sea, countless hours in a laboratory, extensive work on computers, hard labor such as hauling buckets of fish to feed animals, hours of cleanup, numerous reports, tedious grant applications and permit applications.
		First, identify marine mammal scientists who are doing current research in an area of interest, their university affiliation, whether they have funds to support graduate students, and if they are accepting new students.

	Early Mammal Dined on Dinosaurs: Scientific American
		New fossil finds from China are painting a different picture of the mammals that lived alongside the dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era.
		Most mammals known from this time are thought of as relatively small, nocturnal creatures--the hunted rather than the hunters.
		The scientists also found remains of a larger mammal, about the size of a small dog, that was a close relative of the dinosaur eater.

		In the dense central forests of Borneo, a conservation group has found what appears to be a new species of mammal.
		WWF caught two images of the animal, which is bigger than a domestic cat, dark red, and has a long muscular tail.
		The team which discovered it, led by biologist Stephan Wulffraat, is publishing full details in a new book on Borneo and its wildlife.

	Mammal Slide Library
		The Mammal Image Library pays all shipping and handling costs to addressees in Canada, USA, and Mexico, but there is an additional shipping charge of $2.00 US for sending slides elsewhere.
		In 1992, the Mammal Image Library instituted a program whereby grants in the form of MSL slides can be obtained by educational institutions in developing countries.
		The success of the Mammal Image Library reflects the voluntary support of many individuals, including some who are not members of the parent organization, the American Society of Mammalogists.
