MAMMALS

The mammals are one of the most familiar groups of species to us (given that we belong in here ourselves if nothing else), but are probably one of the more frustrating groups to observe in the wild outside of a small number of high visibility species like rabbits and squirrels.  They have adapted well to various environments including the ocean and the skies and is the only class to contained both entirely aquatic species and species capable of true flight.
