Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Land Mammals: And Their Habits Mammals form the highest class of vertebrate or backboned animals. The name of the class is derived from the Latin mamma meaning "a breast," and it covers all those vertebrates which suckle their young. Man stands at the head of the class. All mammals have hearts with four chambers, are warm-blooded, and breathe by means of lungs. The class includes some creatures of the sea, such as whales and seals, and many animals of greatly varied structure and habits. As the title of this little book indicates, only British land mammals are dealt with in its pages. These fall under five different orders, as follows: 1. The Chiroptera (Greek cheir, hand; pteron wing): The Bat Order. 2. The Insectivora (Latin insectum an insect; vorare to devour): The Order of Insect-Eaters, including Moles, Shrews, and Hedgehogs. 3. The Carnivora (Latin caro, carius, flesh; vorare to devour): The Order of Flesh-Eating Mammals - Dogs, Cats, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
