| | Mammal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most early mammals were tiny shrew-like animals that fed on insects. | | | The monotremes branched from other mammals early on, and do not have nipples, but they do have mammary glands. | | | Most early mammals remained small and shrew-like throughout the Mesozoic, but rapidly developed into larger more diverse forms following the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event 65 mya. |

| | MSN Encarta - Mammal |
| | Most mammals are covered with hair or fur, and most have specialized teeth that help them to cut or chew their food. | | | Some mammals, such as ground squirrels, survive cold winters when food is scarce by entering a sleeplike dormant state called hibernation and awaken when food is more abundant. | | | 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. |

| | SMM STRATEGIES FOR PURSUING A CAREER IN MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE |
| | Marine mammal scientists try to understand these animals' genetic, systematic, and evolutionary relationships; population structure; community dynamics; anatomy and physiology; behavior and sensory abilities; parasites and diseases; geographic and microhabitat distributions; ecology; management; and conservation. | | | 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. | | | There are about 100 species of aquatic or marine mammals that depend on fresh water or the ocean for part or all of their life. |

| | Mammal-like Reptiles |
| | What he is saying is that it is very rare to find an transition between one species and an another immediately related species because new species usually form from small geographically isolated populations and the process is often rather fast (fast to a geologist). | | | But the cynodonts too became extinct at the close of the Triassic, leaving only their tiny descendants—true mammals—to persist into the Jurassic and beyond. | | | Indeed the mammal-like reptiles and mammals grade into each other to such a degree that it is hard to make a clear line from where one starts and the other begins. |
