From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Over 70% of mammal species are in the orders
Rodentia (blue),
Chiroptera (red), and
Soricomorpha (yellow)
Rodentia Chiroptera Soricomorpha Primates Carnivora Artiodactyla Diprotodontia Lagomorpha Didelphimorphia Cetacea Dasyuromorphia | Afrosoricida Erinaceomorpha Cingulata Peramelemorphia Scandentia Perissodactyla Macroscelidea Pilosa Monotremata Proboscidea |
The class Mammalia (
mammals) is divided into two subclasses based on
reproductive techniques:
monotremes, which lay eggs, and
therians, mammals which give live birth, which has two infraclasses:
marsupials (
pouched mammals) and placental mammals. See
List of monotremes and marsupials, and for the
clades and families, see
Mammal classification. Classification updated from Wilson and Reeder's
Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference using the
Planet' Mammifères website.
