They are the largest group of vertebrates, the animals with backbones.<\/p>\n<p>Mammals are found on every continent and in a wide range of habitats, from the Arctic to the tropics. They vary in size from the tiny shrew to the massive elephant. There are around 5,500 species of mammals, including both wild and domesticated animals.<\/p>\n<p>Mammals are distinguished from other vertebrates by a number of features, including their fur or hair, mammary glands, and three bones in the middle ear. They are generally larger than other vertebrates and have a higher metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food to stay alive.<\/p>\n<p>Mammals the only animals that feed their young milk from mammary glands. The milk packed with nutrients that help the young grow and develop. Mammals also have a four-chambered heart, which helps circulate blood more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Mammals found on every continent and in a wide range of habitats, from the Arctic to the tropics.

Mammals warm-blooded and have a high metabolic rate, meaning they produce a lot of heat.
