Mammals are animals that are warm blooded. They nurse their young one. Their brains are large and complicated. They have body hair. Their skin has many glands such as mammary, scent and sweat glands. All mammals have external ear. They chew their food. Mammals live on land like elephants,  and in water like whales. Mammals are divided into 3 groups :  Monotremes, Marsupials, and Placental Mammals. Most of the mammals breed seasonally ( Spring , Fall, Summer and Winter ). Lifespan and gestation periods differ greatly. Some mammals are solitary and some live in groups, each group having a special name . Most Mammals communicate with each other.
