Mammals

Definition of Mammals as it relates to Animals, Prey Animals, Buffalo, Herbivores

Mammals, as the child category of Herbivores and located under Prey Animals and Buffalo in the hierarchy, are warm-blooded animals characterized by their mammary glands which produce milk to feed their young. They possess hair or fur and have a highly developed nervous system compared to other animal classes. As herbivores, they primarily consume plant material for sustenance, including grasses, leaves, and shrubs. Within the Buffalo category, mammals are represented by species such as the Cape Buffalo, Water Buffalo, and Bison, all of which are large hooved animals adapted to grazing on open plains. In this hierarchy, Mammals serve as a more specific descriptor for the types of Herbivores found in the Prey Animals category.
