Local Mammals
Mammals are one of the 6 main classes of animals and consist of about 4,000 species in the world. Mammals are typically warm blooded (endothermic), have fur or hair, and are considered vertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with spines (feel your back, the bone in the middle is your spine). Also all mammal babies drink milk.
