Here's the top off: Mammals are unique in that they possess three things which all other animals do not have they possess true hairs (with the exceptions of a couple of whal es); all produce milk in their bodies with which to feed their young and all have a four-chambered heart. One group, the monotremes 1-25-56 including the duck-billed platy pus and spiny anteaters of Aus tralia lay eggs the only mam mals to do so, but they, too, con form to these three mammalian characteristics. ' In addition, all mammals breathe air, have warm blood, and vertebrated backbones. But these three qualities they share with other groups of animals: for example, birds share all of these; reptiles and amphibians also breathe air, though the lat ter do so only in their adult stag es; and fish, too, have vertebrat ed backbones. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of mammals is their ex traordinary range of size, form and habits: For size, they range from the tiny shrew that just counterbal ances a worn dime to the blue whale, greatest of all living or dead animals, which has been measured at 119 feet in length and can weigh as much as 340,- 000 pounds. May Be Fishlike In their extraordinary form, they may be fishlike like the whales, birdlike like the bats; lizardlike like certain tiny mar supial mice; froglike like kan garoos; tortoislike like arma dillos; and with forms that defy By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist comparison such as the pango lin and anteater. And in habit, because of their warm blood and their extremely efficient mechanism both in broiling heat or freezing cold and their varied methods of in sulating their bodies, mammals have been found throughout the earth, in the air above it, under its surface and in the rivers, lak es and seas and oceans as well as in waterless deserts and froz en icecaps. (Everywhere but the Antarctic.) What adaptation! Perhaps the only other group of animals more widely distributed than the mammal is the cold blooded spider and its close rela tives. For that matter in adaptability to climate, don't underestimate man himself. Even without all his artificial aids, he can with stand tremendous variations. Without clothes or houses, the natives of Tierra del Fuego have survived; and naked men have lived through temperatures far above that of the hottest desert in full sunlight!
