Marsupials: A southern success story Marsupials are often associated with the Australian continent where such popular animals as kangaroos and koalas live. Less widely known is that a number of marsupials occur in South America today. These include the opossums, the only marsupials that also occur in the northern hemisphere today. Surprisingly, Mesozoic marsupials are mainly known from North America, and they may have originated there during the Cretaceous. Primitive opossum-like marsupials are among the most common and most diverse mammals in the late Cretaceous of North America. They include cat-sized forms like Didelphodon , one of the largest Mesozoic mammals - and one of the most widely known thanks to its appearance in "Walking with Dinosaurs". Didelphodon had teeth specialized for crushing, and it has been suggested that it fed on hard shelled food like clams, snails, turtles or even young ankylosaurs. The diversity of North American marsupials was dramatically reduced at the end of the Cretaceous. Only one single lineage, represented by late Cretaceous Alphadon and Paleocene Peradectes , survived the faunal turnover. Thus marsupials fared hardly better than dinosaurs in North America, and worse than reptiles on the whole.

65. Roofdieren Overview and pictures for many large mammals, including the cheetah, ocelot, and wolf. http://www.dinohunter.nl/predators

The cheetah has a long streamlined body which is carried on long, thin but powerful legs, which endow it with great speed in the chase. A fully-grown cheetah can reach speeds in excess of 60 mph and can easily outrun any animal over short distances. Its paws too, are almost dog-like, narrow and hard padded they sport only slightly retractable claws, the only of its type amongst the species of cat, and offer the cat extra grip in its high-speed pursuits. The male weights between 40 and 65 kilo, and can reach a height between 70 to 90 centimeter. The female is smaller. The tail can be somewhere between 65 and 85 centimeters. The fennec is the smallest among the foxes. It also goes by the name desert fox. It does have the largest ears, up to 15 centimeters. They are almost bigger than its head. Its tail is just as beautiful as the normal fox's tail, its stomach is white and its back is light brown. The proboscis is very pointed. It weights between 1 and 1.5 kilos and its length can be between 35 to 40 centimeters. This little animal can become 12 years old. The fennec has got very sensitive senses. People used to think that the hyena would wait until a lion had caught a prey, and then took it from him. This appears to be wrong. The hyena always hunts in a group, when they capture a prey, they start with their "laughing". This lets the lions know that they have a prey and they take away the prey from the hyena's. This makes the hyena the victim instead of the lion. The hyena can reach a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers an hour, with sometimes flukes of 60 kilometers an hour, and keep that up for 15 minutes. A hyena is capable to succeed in capturing a gnu weighing 170 kilo's by itself. If the prey has fallen, its already torn open and the entrails are hanging out. As soon as the prey is lying on the ground, the pack throws itself on it and start to eat greedy out of fear that a lion will take the prey from them. One third of the hunts are a success.

66. Costa Rica, Mammals Given the rich diversity of Costa Rica's ecosystems, it may come as a surprise that there are only 200 mammal species in the nation, half of which are bats. http://philip.greenspun.com/cr/moon/mammals

Mammals by Christopher Baker Home Travel Costa Rica ... CR Handbook : One Article Given the rich diversity of Costa Rica's ecosystems, it may come as a surprise that there are only 200 mammal species in the nation, half of which are bats. And Costa Rica, like most neotropical countries, has "a depauperate marine mammal flora," in the words of one biologist. Several species of dolphins and seven species of whales are common in Costa Rican waters, but there are no seals. And the only endemic species of any significance is the endangered manatee. Before man hunted them to extinction, there were many more mammal species. Even today all large and many small mammal populations are subject to extreme hunting pressure or habitat destruction, and it is only recently that large-mammal populations in the national parks are beginning to recover. Like most large mammals, jaguars and tapirs are shy and stay well clear of people. Sighting one would be cause for great celebration! Still, most visitors can expect to see one or more species of monkeys, one of Costa Rica's four ecologically unique tropical mammals; the others are sloths, anteaters, and noninsectivorous bats. And luck, patience, and the aid of a professional guide can lead to thrilling encounters with other species. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times for wildlife viewing, particularly around waterholes (the dry regions of Guanacaste offer prime locations). I recommend joining a natural-history tour or guided day-tours through one of the many tour companies specializing in wildlife programs (see p. 142).

Animals Dogs Cats Small Pets ... Animals Mammals view larger image The mammals are the most advanced of all vertebrates and are the dominant land animals all over earth. There are a number of features that distinguish mammals from other animals. The most obvious are the possesion of hair, and of mammary glands with which the female suckles her young. These features are not shared by any other class of animals. Mammals and birds are the only animals which maintain a constant body temperature. They are aided in this by their fur and feahers. The majority of mammals retain their young in the womb until a fairly late stage of development. Parental care of the young is another important feature of mammalian life. Modern mammals have only a single bone in the lower jaw. During their evolution from reptilian ancestors the mammals gradually lost the other bones from the jaw. Fossils indicate that the first mammals appeared in Triassic times, nearly 200 million years ago. The early mammals were about the size of small rats.

Resources Dolphins and Whales Information and Photos about Dolphins, Whales and Marine Mammals A website dedicated to bringing you information and quality pictures of various species of whales and dolphins. Whales and Dolphins are Cetaceans - a group of mammals which belong to the order Cetacea. There are two classifications of Cetacea - Odontoceti (toothed Whales) and Mysticeti (baleen whales). Whales are large, aquatic mammals that breathe air through either one or two blowholes into their lungs. Toothed whales such as Killer Whales Sperm Whales , and Beluga Whales prey on fish, squid, or marine mammals using echolocation. Baleen whales such as Humpback Whales Gray Whales , and Minke Whales feed on tiny crustaceans, small fish and plankton. They use their baleen to filter the food from the water and are generally larger than toothed whales. Belonging to the odontoceti or toothed whale cetacea, and family Delphinidae, the largest family of the cetacean order, there are 26 living species of dolphins. Most species of dolphins feed mainly on small schooling fish and squid although some species prey on crabs, shrimps, and lobsters. Dolphins can be found in all oceans and major seas around the world. Each species of dolphin has adapted to life in their particular marine environment, allowing them to specialize in catching and eating food specific to that area.
