Kingdom = animalia
Pylum = chordata
class = mammalia

Modern mammals are divided into three sub-classes:

  • Prototheria (Mammals that lay eggs, also known as monotremes or Monotremata).
  • Metatheria (marsupials, pouched mammals).
  • Eutheria (placental mammals. That's me).

    Mammals are endothermic, have hair, a four-chambered heart, an single lower jaw, suckle their young, and are heterodonts. Not all mammals bear live young. Go read that bit about the Prototheria again.
