THE AGE OF MAMMALS
Last month, we took a look at reptiles and what makes them so unique. In this month’s letter, we will focus on the furry and hairy creatures of our world, the mammals.
WHAT MAKES A MAMMAL A MAMMAL?
Many people think that an animal is a mammal if it is covered in fur or hair. Yes, this is true that all mammals do either have fur or hair but the true determining characteristic is how mammals feed their young. All mammals when they are born, drink milk from their mothers before they go onto different foods.
