An introduction to the diversity of mammals and what differentiates them. Lecture will introduce students to the evolutionary relationships between different mammalian families, while the lab will focus on exploring the different characteristics that allow us to tell different mammalian species apart using dry specimens and other supplementary resources.

Special emphasis will be placed on familiarizing students with locally occurring mammalian species.
