So, what is a mammal exactly?
You might have heard the old adage: “it’s an animal with fur, warm-blood and milk”. This is extremely fortunate, because every group of non-therian mammal I’m discussing in this series has all three of these things… because they evolved long befor...

So, nearly all mammals alive today belong to a group called Theria. Therians first evolved in the Jurassic, and started off as tree-climbing possum-like things.
You know, kind of the Mesozoic mammal stereotype and all. Of course, that didn’t last forever, since we now have everything ...
