Understanding Mammalia Classification and Characteristics
Mammalia, a class of animals, exhibit distinct characteristics like hair presence, mammary glands for young ones, and warm-bloodedness. They are classified into subclasses like Prototheria (egg-laying), Metatheria (marsupials), and Eutheria (placental mammals). Monotremes belong to Prototheria and i
