Mammalia (Linnaeus, 1758 ) are warm-blooded chordates with hair or fur, mammary glands, and usually well-defined ears. Most mammals, especially therian mammals, give live birth; however, others such as monotremes lay eggs.
Agnathadea (jawless mammals)
Carnivora (mammals with forward facing eyes and jaws and teeth designed for catching and/or chasing prey)
Cetacea (mostly massive and carnivorous marine mammals that usually posess nostrils on top of their heads known as blowholes)
Chimeria (mammals displaying parts of multiple unrelated species)
Chiroptera (big-eared flying mammals with wings derived from their hands similar to those of dragons)
Dasyuromorphia (carnivorous Australian marsupials)
Didelphimorphia (superficially rat-like marsupials famous for playing dead)
Diprotodontia (marsupials with a pair of large procumbent incisors)
Eulipotyphla (an order of mammals that includes most members of the now-obsolete wastebasket taxon Insectivora, including moles, shrews and hedgehogs)
Glires (mammals with continuously growing incisors in the upper and lower parts of the jaws)
Macroscelidea (shrew-like mammals with trunks)
Monotremata (egg-laying mammals with beaks)
Primates (intelligent mammals with hands and fingernails, including humans and monkeys)
Proboscidea (usually rough-skinned mammals that have evolved a dextrous fifth limb, usually known as a trunk, from a fusion of the nose and upper lip)
Sirenia (fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous mammals with fusiform bodies, thick skin and paddle-shaped forelimbs)
Sphinxiforms (chimeric mythical mammals with four-legged typically carnivoran-like bodies and human- or primate-like heads)
Ungulata (usually herbivorous mammals with hooves)
Smockwhail (Paraloxodonta smokafeli )
