What makes you a mammal?
- You need to be hairy. All mammals have this distinguishing feature.
- You need to have modified sweat glands that produce milk for your young. Assuming that you are a female, of course.
- Your lower jaw has a single bone on either side. Most other animals have several bones in the jaw.
- Your hearing is acute because you have three bones in your middle ear; the stapes, incus and malleus.
- You have a sheet of muscle that separates your heart and lungs from your liver,stomach,kidney and intestines. This is called a diaphragm. This helps in rapid locomotion but also means you are the only kind of animal that can get a hernia(torn diaphragm).
