Desert Mammals
The mammals are the class of vertebrate animals primarily characterized by the presence of
mammary glands in the female which produce milk for the nourishment of young; the presence
of hair or fur; and which have endothermic or "warm blooded" bodies. The brain regulates
endothermic and circulatory systems.
