What 3 examples of mammals are there?
Monotremes, marsupials, and placentals
Why are plancetals more successful than marsupials and monotremes?
Because placentals are the largest number of mammals.
Is a gorilla a placental or monotremes?
Marsupials, monotremes, and placentals are all types of mammals. To qualify as a mammal, an animal has to be warm blooded, have hair, and produce milk for its young. Alligators do not fit any of those criteria, because they are reptiles, not mammals. So they are not marsupials, monotremes, or placentals.
Mammals are divided into three large categories based on what?
Plato Users: Reproduction and Development (monotremes, placentals, etc.)
Are dolphins placentals?
Yes. Dolphins are placental mammals because they do not have a pouch like most marsupials, and they do not lay eggs like the monotremes.
Are mammals that lay eggs called placentals?
No. Mammals which lay eggs are monotremes. Placental mammals and marsupials give live birth.
Name examples of monotremes marsupials placentals?
Monotremes:Platypus and echidnaMarsupials:Kangaroo, koala, wombat, Tasmanian devil, possum, bilby, quoll, quokka, wallaby, dunnart, phascogale, bandicootPlacental mammals:Dog, cat, horse, antelope, camel, guinea-pig, mouse, pig, giraffe, elephant, bat, armadillo, cow

Theria is the closest connection between marsupials and placentals. It includes all mammals besides the monotremes.
Are zebra's placental mammals?
yes all mammals are placental. No, not all animals are placentals. There are also marsupials and monotremes.
Is a bat a monotreme?
No. Monotremes are mammals which lay eggs rather than give birth. The only monotremes are the echidna and the platypus. Bats give live birth, so they are not monotremes.
Do all mammals feed from their mothers?
Yes. The fact that these animals feed their young on mothers' milk is one of the defining characteristics of all mammals, including the placentals, marsupials and monotremes.
What do placentals and monotremes have in common?
Placentals, marsupials and monotremes are all types of mammals. Therefore, the main thing which they all have in common is that they all feed their young on mothers' milk. In addition, they are all warm blooded vertebrates with a covering of fur, skin or hair. They all have four-chambered hearts, and full circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. They all have a flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae, and show enhanced neocortex development. Their limbs are oriented vertically and they produce sound via the larynx.
