Section outline
-
A mammal is an animal that feeds its babies with milk when it is young.
There are over 4,500 types of mammals.
Many of the most popular animals we know are mammals, for example, dogs, cats, horses, cows, but exotic animals like kangaroos, giraffes, elephants and anteaters belong to this group, too. Humans are also mammals.
