Mammals

eMammal

"...a data management system and archive for camera trap research projects.  This cyber-tool is designed to not only be useful to scientists, but also to the citizen scientists who aid scientists in photo collection.  Camera trappers use our software to look at pictures, identify animals and upload them for review and archive at the Smithsonian. These data then help address important conservation-related questions.  The pictures provide a unique view into the secret world of wildlife."

Mammals constitute a taxonomic Class, which

  fits into taxonomic ranking as:

             Domain

               Kingdom

                  Phylum

                     Class → Mammals

                        Order

                           Family

                             Genus

                                Species

· Below, this page lists mammals by taxonomic

   Order, which are listed alphabetically and

   highlighted in bold blue text.

· Subgroups (that is, taxa of varying levels that

   are lower than Order) are in bold black text.

Marine mammals

Why not put marine mammals here on this page? There's no reason not to do that...but they are placed under

Aquatic life > Marine taxa > Marine mammals

since most conservation measures "fit" better here.
