Yes, homeothermic means warm blooded and all mammals are warm blooded (warm our bodies through food energy). Endothermic animals use the sun or other heat sources (such as reptiles)

What land mammal has only two legs?
All land mammals have four distinct limbs. In bats, the front limbs are wings. In all other land mammals, all four limbs could be called legs. In land mammals that move on two legs, the front legs are sometimes called arms, leaving them with two legs. But this is confusing, because the front limbs could also be called arms. So it is more technically correct to answer the question, "What land mammals can move on two legs?" Humans and the Ground Pangolin are the only land mammals that can walk on two legs for a sustained amount of time. Other primates can walk on two legs as well, but this is not their primary way of moving on land and they cannot sustain it for very long. Macropods (the kangaroo family), kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats, sifakas, sportive lemurs, and the Springhare can hop on land on two legs.

Is a greyhound the second fastest land animal?
The greyhound is the fastest dog - with a top speed around 46 mph, but there are several mammals faster than it. Of course the cheetah is considered the fastest - with a top speed around 68 mph (and as much as 75 mph for very short distances), but it can only sustain it's high speed for a short time so at longer distances a greyhound could actually catch up and pass one in a hypothetical race. Other animals that are faster than a greyhound include:
Hare - top speed ~50 mph
Blackbuck antelope - top speed ~50 mph
Lion - top speed ~50 mph
Wildebeest - top speed ~50 mph
Springbok antelope - top speed ~55 mph
Pronghorn - top speed ~55 mph
Ostrich - top speed ~60 mph
Minnows are fish and, like all fish, they are vertebrates because they have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.

This is used often when referring to endangered species. Endemic meaning: special, native, unique, or distinct to and also prevalent or peculiar to a specific area, locality or region. While of course mammals, are animals, warm blooded, furred, and usually nurse young with milk. This is a simplified definition, but it is only a complicated term by the way it is used. Usually it is used when discussing the populations of a specific area. You would be referencing the mammals that are unique or distinctive to say, Africa not other animals that might have been moved to, or transported to Africa. So when someone uses this term they are referring to mammals that belong, or are unique to a specific area.
