Many mammals have tusks, including elephants, boars, and of course, narwhals.
Do all mammals have seven neck bones?
It's the same amount of bones we have in our necks apart from their's is streched.
Who would have worn beaver hats?
Many hunters and trappers wore crude beaver caps. However, beaver pelts also made very fine military hats and top hats in the period 1600 -1850's. This caused the beaver to be hunted almost to extinction in Canada.
the tiger is in the mammal family. it is also in the cat family!!
What Is every young mammal fed with?
It really depends on what species we're dealing with. I mean- of course, at birth, the baby would be fed with the mother's milk. After a while, it would have to be weaned off the milk and onto whatever the typical diet for that mammal would be. A young bear, for instance, would be taught how to hunt and to find berries and the such.

How do you remove a skunk from under a shed?
To have a skunk around is not necessarily a bad thing, skunks are placid, retiring and non-aggressive. They try very hard not to get in trouble. They eat mostly insects, many of which are pests so they are beneficial to have around. In winter and spring they may eat mice.
Sometimes skunks are killed or evicted because someone is afraid of getting sprayed; in true it takes a lot to get sprayed, they prefer to stay out of trouble. They will not spray in or near their homes if they can avoid it either.
Most skunks dig their own burrows but can also use abandoned dens of other animals, hollow logs, wood or rock piles, under buildings, stone walls, hay or brush piles and trees or stumps. They will establish a territory of a few hundred acres at most. They are primarily nocturnal and usually solitary - except when mothers are raising their babies. They are active throughout the year, but in northern areas, they spend the coldest parts of the winter in their dens.
If you really want to evict the skunk, first make sure that is not winter or that they have litter. For evicting them, first take measures to discourage them from sticking around. These include removing garbage and pet food left out at night and eliminating convenient denning sites such as wood and rock piles, elevated sheds, openings under concrete slabs and porches and access to crawl spaces under houses. You may however want an alternative den somewhere not too far so the skunk moves initially there.
Then try repacking the hole the skunk is using with leaves or other material to see if it will get the message and move elsewhere. Do not fill up the hole with heavy things or materials and don't poke inside the den or use aggression, otherwise, beside leaving the skunk to starve, you will also get the so feared sprayed odor impregnated in your place for ages.
If the previous measures fail, place ammonia-soaked rags near or inside the burrow to one side so that the skunk has to pass them to get in and out. Make sure the skunk is not close by before taking either of these measures.
Never close a den the first day you think it is empty, rather cover with leaves to check if the skunk is still using it, otherwise you may trap it inside and the feared odor will stay as a reminder for weeks.
If and only if all measures fail, place a one-way door at the place where the skunk leaves his den, he will come out but not be able to come in. This is however a last resource as may backfire to a trapped skunk (odor defense!) or other undesired outcomes.
Why do humans belong to the group known as mammals?
We are mammals because we have breath air, we are warm blooded, and we give live birth. Every animal able to reproduce gives birth, but mammals are the only ones who give live birth.We have haire on our body
All mammals have mammary glands to feed their young. Humans do this thing too, therefore we also mammals. Humans have hair which is a mammalian character . Mammals, the class of vertebrate animals is characterized by the presence of sweat glands, including sweat glands modified for milk production which are called mammary glands , hair, three middle ear bones used in hearing, and a neocortex region in the brain) Mammals have 7 cervical vertebrae hence human are mammals .
Yes. Mammals have hair, they also give birth to their young alive insted of laying eggs and lastly, mammals feed their young with milk.
Humans are vertebrates, having backbones. They are eukaryote/have nucleated cells and are multicellular and heterotrophic and oogamous. All this defines them as vertebrate animalians, from the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata and the Subphylum Vertebrata. Mammals are a subset of Vertebrates and thus have distinguishing characters specific to mammals.
Humans have hair, which is unique to the mammalian class, Class Mammalia. Humans are endothermic/warm blooded and undergo lactation/breastfeed their young. They also have different types of tooth; molars, premolars, incisors and canines. All of these characters define a human as mammalian, a mammal from the Class Mammalia. Furthermore, humans are viviparous/live bearing who give birth to well-developed young that are nursed by a placenta and thus humans come from the mammalian subclass of therians, Subclass Theria and the infraclass of eutherians/placentals, Infraclass Eutheria/Placentalia.
Humans have hair, different types of teeth and suckle their young. They have enucleate red blood cells, are synapsid and endothermic and have an aorta that curves to the left. All these are mammalian characters. Thus Humans are mammals.
To answer this as simply as possible.... All species of animal are classed under an encompassing group depending on whether they share certain traits. For example Fish, insects, Reptiles, Amphibians, Avian (birds) and Mammals, there are other smaller groups. In mammals a common feature is that they all carry their young up until they are developed. Only mammals do this. Another common feature among mammals is that they breathe oxygen from the air. That really should be enough to answer the question. There is no other way anybody should look at it. Don't try and come up with any other angles. It is fact. This one is very easy. mammals are classified as beings with mammary glands (hense the name mammals) Which are milk producing glands. Also a mammal gives birth to live young. Because we give birth to live children and feed them with milk afterwards, like any mammal does.
The primary characteristics of a mammal are:
- Has hair
- Warm blooded
- Has a backbone
- Gives birth to live young
- Suckles their young
What mammals are born from eggs?
There are two egg-laying mammals. The platypus and the echidna are both egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are still classified as mammals because they feed their young on mothers' milk - a characteristic unique to mammals alone.
There are just three known species of egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. They are the platypus and short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of Papua New Guinea. The echidna is sometimes called the spiny anteater, and there are several sub-species of the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
How did the respiratory system change during the development from amphibians to mammals?
There are a number of ways in which the respiratory system has changed during the development of amphibians. Their respiratory system developed in such a way that they need more oxygen than they used to.
How are marsupials different from other mammals and how are they the same?
A marsupial is a mammal, but it is different to a placental mammal in two main ways.
Marsupial young are born very undeveloped, after a short gestation period. Moving purely by instinct, the baby joey (the term for all marsupial young) makes its way to the mother's pouch, where the young joey latches onto a teat, remaining there to continue its growth and development.
Many marsupials have the mammary glands enclosed within a protective pouch. Although a mammal with a pouch is always a marsupial, not all marsupials have pouches, for example, the numbat of Western Australia. This is not necessarily a characteristic of marsupials.
Marsupials are a kind of mammal. All marsupials are mammals, but not all mammals are marsupials. Marsupials do not have advanced placentas, and have epipubic bones. Epipubic bones are bones which project forwards from the pelvis. In the case of marsupials, these bones support the female's pouch, but there are other mammals which are not marsupials which also have epipubic bones. The excretory and reproductive systems of placental mammals and marsupials are also different.
Apart from these characteristics, marsupials have a similar Biology to other mammals.
What is the second biggest mammal?
Either the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) or the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). The former can reach lengths of 89.5 ft (27.3 m) but only weighs 70 metric tons, while the latter reaches lengths of 65 ft (20 m) and weighs over 100 metric tons.
The oldest known animal was Harriet, a Giant Galapagos tortoise taken from the Galapagos Islands by naturalist Charles Darwin in 1835 as a personal pet during his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle. On that voyage was naval officer, John Clements Wickham. After studying Harriet whilst formulating his theory of evolution, Darwin handed the tortoise on to Wickham when the latter sailed for Brisbane to take up a post as police magistrate. Over the years, the tortoise was carefully tended, and in 1958, was moved to naturalist David Fleay's wildlife park on the Gold Coast. She was moved to Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast in 1987 where she enjoyed celebrity status until her death on 23 June 2006.

What are some ways mammals live in the cold?
The answer depends on the arbitrary definition of cold. To someone who has spent all their life in the tropics, the temperate zone may seem cold. For someone who has lived in the Arctic, it would appear hot!
What are the posionuos mammals?
There are not only two - there are several. Some venomous mammals include the Platypus, European Mole, Southern/Norther Short Tailed Shrew, and others. However, none of these are potent enough to kill a human, unless you got several large doses.
Mammals are boys and girls. Mammals are classified based on certain characteristics they have. Some characteristics mammals have are: 1. They have to have at least some hair on their body. 2. The females have to have nipples that they feed their young milk with. 3. And, other than monotremes (platypus and possums and other animals), they have to give live birth to their young. So therefore, all humans are mammals. Cats, dogs, hamsters, and all other animals you can think of that have all three characteristics, are mammals.
What are two uses of hair for mammals?
mamals can use fur for many things. They can use it for heat in cold climates, and protection. Have you ever noticed that a beaver uses it's fur to stay dry? the oils in the coat keep water away from it's skin. Cats will also poof out their fur to make them look bigger when facing an enemy, such as another cat.
Yes, because they are a live birth and the baby suckles milk from it's mother.
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms, they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and move by means of hundreds of tiny, transparent, adhesive "tube feet". The symmetry is not obvious in the living animal, but is easily visible in the dried test. Echinodermate means "spiny skin" in Greek.
Specifically, the term "sea urchin" refers to the "regular echinoids", which are symmetrical and globular. The term includes several different taxonomic groups: the order Echinoida, the order Cidaroida or "slate-pencil urchins", which have very thick, blunt spines, and others. Besides sea urchins, the class Echinoidea also includes three groups of "irregular" echinoids: flattened sand dollars, sea biscuits, and heart urchins.
Together with sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea), they make up the subphylum Echinozoa, which is characterized by a globoid shape without arms or projecting rays. Sea cucumbers and the irregular echinoids have secondarily evolved diverse shapes. Although many sea cucumbers have branched tentacles surrounding the oral opening, these have originated from modified tube feet and are not homologous to the arms of the crinoids, sea stars, and brittle stars.
So, yes. Yes they are.

In what order of marine mammals are cetaceans?
There are three orders of marine mammals; cetacea, sirenia and carnivore. The cetacea order includes whales and dolphins while the sirenia order is mostly sea cows. The carnivore order has bears, sea lions and otters.
What mammals feed milk to their young?
All female mammals of the world, domesticated or wild, produce milk for their young. These include:
Cows (cattle, bison, elk, moose, caribou, whales, dolphins, manatees, elephants, rhinos, hippos, etc.)
Does (goats, deer, antelope, rabbits, hares, etc.)
Jennies (donkeys, burros, asses)
Ewes (sheep)
Sows (pigs, bears, warthogs)
Female primates (human women, chimps, orangutangs, baboons and other monkeys)
What non mammals live in fresh water?
River otters live in the shores of fresh water regions.
River otters live on river shores. River otters hold there breath when going under water. They also use sticks and branches to build a dam in the water.
