4 What Is a Land Mammal? Impalas are mammals that live in the southern part of Africa.
5 Mammals are warm-blooded animals. Mammals have lived on Earth for millions of years. There are about 4,600 mammal species alive today. While most mammals live on land, some live in the water. Land mammals share some common features. Nearly all mammals are covered with fur or hair. They also have special teeth called molars. These teeth help mammals chew or cut their food. Most mammals give birth to live babies. All young mammals need their mothers. Mothers produce milk that they use to nurse, or feed, their babies. Mammals are vertebrates. This means they have backbones. There are many types of land mammals. Humans are mammals. Bats, dogs, giraffes, hamsters, and kangaroos are mammals, too. The Javan rhinoceros lives only in Indonesia, Vietnam, and on the island of Java. Fast Facts The Javan rhinoceros is the world s rarest land mammal. There are only 50 to 60 Javan rhinoceroses on Earth. African elephants are the largest land mammals. They weigh about 6.06 tons (5.5 metric tonnes). They stand about 10.5 feet (3.2 meters) tall at the shoulder. The smallest non-flying mammal is the pygmy white-toothed shrew. It is 1.4 inches (3.5 centimeters) long. 5
6 Land Mammal Lot There are three groups of land mammals. These groups are monotremes, marsupials, and placentals. Monotremes lay eggs. Young monotremes hatch from the eggs. The young feed on their mother s milk. Monotremes are the smallest mammal group. There are three monotreme species. They are the duckbill platypus and two types of echidnas, or spiny anteaters. Monotremes, such as this echidna, live in Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. Marsupials carry their young in a pouch. The pouch is part of the mother s body. Young marsupials are not fully formed. The baby lives in the pouch until it develops. This can take weeks or months. There are about 250 marsupial species. Most marsupials live in Australia. The quokka kangaroo, pictured here, is a marsupial. 6
