Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Mammals are warm-blooded, meaning they maintain a constant internal body temperature, unlike cold-blooded animals whose temperature changes with their surroundings.
- •
Almost all mammals give birth to live babies, with the exception of the platypus and echidna, which lay eggs.
- •
All mammals breathe with lungs, which is why whales and dolphins are classified as mammals and not fish, even though they live in the water.
