Mammals

Mammals are amazing creatures, and there's a lot to learn about them. Mammals are unique because they usually have fur or hair on their bodies. From fluffy kittens to shaggy dogs, their fur helps keep them warm and cosy. Mammals are warm-blooded, which means they can control their body temperature. That's why they're so adaptable to different environments. Mammals are the only animals that make milk to feed their babies. Mammals come in all shapes and sizes. You've got tiny mice, big elephants, sleek dolphins, and agile cheetahs, each with their own unique qualities. Mammals live in many different places, from forests to deserts and oceans to cities. Foxes may be in your garden, while bats might roost in your attic. Mammals can be great companions. Cats and dogs are popular pets, but there are also unusual choices like rabbits, guinea pigs, and even ferrets. The UK is home to some incredible mammal species, including red squirrels, badgers, and deer. You can often spot them in local woodlands and parks. Mammals are like a diverse family, and we're part of that family too. They play an essential role in the natural world, and each one has something special to offer.
