What are mammals


photo of Cheetah by James Temple
 Are mammals humans?  No!   Not all mammals are humans.  There are many kinds of mammals.  The Cheetah is the fastest mammal on land.  The Blue Whale is the largest mammal living today.  No two Giraffes have the same pattern of spots and no two Zebras have the same pattern of stripes.  The smallest mammal in the world is a bat from Thailand, Kitli's Hog-nosed Bat.  The first mammals appeared about 200 years ago.  Did you know that?   Are humans mammals? Yes!  Remember that humans are mammals but many mammals are not human.  Did you know that if somebody has hair they are a mammal?  Do you know anything about mammals?  Are you interested in mammals?
