Information About

Mammalogy




Three major subdivisions of mammals are Monotreme s, Marsupial s and Placental s. An important characteristic for classifying mammals is their dentition: this is because teeth survive the longest after an animal's death. Humans are classified in the subdivision of placentals.

Mammalogy branches off into other taxonomically-oriented disciplines such as Primatology (study of Primates ), Cetology (study of Cetaceans ), Equinology (or Hippology , study of Horses ), and Cynology (study of Dog s).
