3. Mother mammals nurse their babies.
4. Mammals are warm-blooded.
5. Most mammals care for their young.

It can eat animals bigger than itself!

The Purple Cow

This is a poem I copied and memorized a few days ago.

The Purple Cow
I never saw a purple cow;
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Mom's Note: By Gelett Burgess (1895).

Baby Giraffes

Most mammals give birth lying down.
But did you know that baby giraffes are born
with their Moms standing upright during labor?

From a height of about six feet, the baby
twists midair to land on its feet.

Isn't that neat?
