Los mamíferos pertenecen al grupo de los vertebrados. Se caracterizan por tener el cuerpo cubierto de pelaje, por nacer del vientre materno (vivíparos) y por alimentar a las crias con leche por medio de glándulas mamarias. Los mamíferos son animales de sangre caliente, es decir, que son capaces de regular la temperatura de su cuerpo para que se mantenga constante independientemente de que haga frío o calor, y respiran a través de pulmones.

Según el tipo de alimentación, los mamíferos se clasifican en: herbívoros, es decir, los que se alimentan de plantas, como el caballo, la oveja o el elefante; carnívoros – que comen carne animal-, como los leones, los lobos y los osos; y omnívoros, que se nutren tanto de carne animal como de vegetales, como los humanos y algunos primates.

En el mundo existen unas 5.500 especies de mamíferos diferentes.

Mammals belong to the group of vertebrate animals. They are characterized by having their bodies covered with fur, being born in the womb of the mother (viviparous) and by nursing their young with milk from mammary glands.
Mammals are warm-blooded animals, i.e. they are able to regulate their body temperature so that it remains constant, whether it is cold or warm, and they breathe through their lungs.

Depending on the type of food, mammals are classified by: herbivores, i.e. those that feed on plants, such as horses, sheep or elephants; -carnivores that eat animal meat - such as lions, wolves and bears; and omnivores that feed on both plants and animal flesh, such as humans and some primates.

In the world there are 5500 species of different mammals.
