Mammals

Welcome to the home of MammalScoop! The point of this site is to educate the public about the mammals found all over the Earth. It is an ongoing project as we love learning about all mammals as we develop our site. There is always a different, new and exciting mammal to learn about, and many new facts about mammals, so check back frequently.

Mammals of the World

There are an estimated 5,500 different and distinct species of mammals found all over the world. Whether you are looking for mammals in the Arctic, in the hot, dry savannas of Africa, or the thick jungles of South America, mammals are to be seen everywhere.

Mammals are some of the warm-blooded animals on the planet. In fact, all mammals are warm-blooded, and that is one of the main determining factors of being classified as a mammal. All mammals also have some quantity of either hair or fur covering all or portions of their bodies. Mammals also give birth to live young, like humans, although there are some species of mammals that do in fact lay eggs.
