Chapter 33 Mammals Mammals are endothermic animals, which means they are able to generate substantial body heat internally. http://www.exploringnature.org/graphics/Mammals_K2_72.jpg Most species are experts at maintaining a constant body temperature. They have combinations of fur, hair, and subcutaneous fat and sweat glands http://media1.shmoop.com/images/biology/biobook_animalmovement_graphik_53.png Young mammals develop within the mother for a time and then are born alive Mammary glands http://img.tfd.com/vet/thumbs/gr258.jpg A diaphragm and the fourchambered heart http://blogs.nejm.org/now/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Dysfunction-of-the-Diaphragm.jpg http://rbssanimalsystems4.wikispaces.com/file/view/heart_with_labels.jpg/291104367/heart_with_labels.jpg The first mammals were small and resembled tree shrews.
