MAMMALS FACTS

- All mammals are viviparous, except for monotremes, which are oviparous.

- All mammals are vertebrates.

ECHIDNAS live in

parts of Australia

and New Guinea.

- Mammals can be CARNIVORES, HERBIVORES OR OMNIVORES. They

have different types of teeth depending on the food they eat.

- Baby mammals drink their mother's milk until they can find their own

food.

- All mammals breathe with their LUNGS.

- Most mammals have FUR or HAIR to keep them warm.

- Most mammals have 4 LEGS and move ON LAND.

Some mammals have FLIPPERS and move IN WATER.

Only one mammal has WINGS and can FLY.

ELEPHANTS

ARE THE

LARGEST

LAND

MAMMALS.

THEY ARE

HERBIVORES.

GIRAFFES ARE

THE TALLEST

LAND MAMMALS.

THEIR NECKS

ARE LONG SO

THEY CAN EAT

LEAVES FROM

TALL TREES.

DOLPHINS USE

FLIPPERS TO

MOVE IN

WATER. THEY

BREATHE

THROUGH A

HOLE AT THE

TOP OF THEIR

HEADS. THEY

ARE

CARNIVORES.

BATS ARE THE ONLY

MAMMALS THAT CAN

FLY. MOST BATS ARE

NOCTURNAL, SO

THEY ARE ONLY

ACTIVE AT NIGHT.

MAMMALS FACTSLET’S

BIRDS FACTS

- All birds are oviparous. They incubate their eggs. This means they sit on the eggs to keep them warm

while the baby grows inside.

- All birds are vertebrates.

- Birds can be CARNIVORES, HERBIVORES OR OMNIVORES.

- Adult birds find food for their babies until they can find their own

food.

- Birds breathe with their LUNGS.

- Birds have FEATHERS and WINGS, but not all birds can fly. Some can swim or

run. Birds use their feathers for flying, keeping warm and attracting other birds. All

feathers are WATERPROOF.

- Birds have BEAKS.

Birds of prey have HOOKED BEAKS for tearing meat.

Birds that eat nuts and seeds have SHORT BEAKS.

Birds that catch fish have LONGS, SHARP BEAKS.

Birds that eat nectar from flowers have LONG, THIN

BEAKS..

Penguins are aquatic

birds. They mostly eat

fish and other small

sea animals. They

can't fly, but they are

very good swimmers.

Ostriches are the

largest birds in the

world. Although they

can't fly, they can run

faster than any

human.

Eagles are carnivores.

They are very good

hunters and eat fish and

other animals. Bald eagles

make the largest nests in

the world.

Sparrows

have SHORT

BEAKS

because they

eat seeds.

Pelicans have

LONG, SHARP

BEAKS which

they use to catch

lots of fish at

once.

Hummingbirds are one of

the smallest birds. They

have LONG, THIN BEAKS

which they use to drink

nectar from flowers.

HOW THEY MOVE VS

BEAKS

-MOST MAMMALS HAVE 4 LEGS TO MOVE ON LAND.

- SOME MAMMALS HAVE FLIPPERS TO MOVE IN WATER.- ONE MAMMAL HAS WINGS

AND CAN FLY.

BIRDS HAVE BEAKS.-BIRDS OF PREY HAVE HOOKED BEAKS

FOR TEARING MEAT.-BIRDS THAT EAT NUTS AND SEEDS HAVE

SHORT BEAKS.- BIRDS THAT CATCH FISH HAVE LONG,

SHARP BEAKS.- BIRDS THAT EAT NECTAR FROM

FLOWERS HAVE LONG, THINK BEAKS.
