Mammals encyclopedia
Explore the 208 Animalpedia species classified as mammals: characteristics, diet, habitat, behaviour and conservation status.
Mammals are vertebrate animals characterised above all by the presence of hair or fur and by the nursing of their young on milk produced by the females. They breathe with lungs and live in a wide range of environments, on land as well as in water. This large group includes domestic animals such as the dog, the cat and the horse, but also wild species such as the lion, the elephant, the dolphin, the whale and the bat.
