About The Book: This book provides comprehensive information about mammals in India and their characteristics, with a focus on their anatomy and digestive systems. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of Indian mammals for future naturalists and researchers. Mammals, as warm-blooded creatures, are distinguished by mammary glands producing milk for their young and a covering of hair or fur. Their lungs are separated from the abdominal viscera by the diaphragm, and most mammals have four limbs. The text emphasizes the significance of teeth in identifying different mammal species, as teeth play a crucial role in capturing and processing food. It also discusses the variations in hair and fur among mammals and how these relate to their habitats and adaptations. Furthermore, the book delves into the skeletal structure of mammals, their cranial and facial bones, as well as their digestive systems, highlighting differences in the structure of the tongue, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and spleen among various mammal species.
