The World of Mammals
Welcome to the World of Mammals, an exhibit whereyou'll find mammals from the four corners of the earth.The activities in this booklet will help you explore theWorld of Mammals.
You're a mammal--so are all of the animals in this exhibit.Mammals come in all shapes and sizes, and every kind ofmammal has its own special lifestyle.
But all mammals share a few features that make themdifferent from other kinds of animals:
O Mammals have hair or fur (although some mammals don't have very much).
O Mammals are warm-blooded. Their body temperature stays nearly the samein hot or cold weather.
0 Most mammals bear live young that are fairly well developed at birth.
0 Female mammals produce milk and nurse their young.
0 Mammals have the largest and most advanced brains of all animals.
Look closely at the animals below and CIRCLE the ones that are mammals.
@ Field Museum of Natural History, April 19926
Which is Which?
Scientists divide mammals into groups, based on ancestorsthe mammals share. The World of Mammals exhibit isdivided into groups, too, so you can discover traits thatgroups of mammals have in common, along with some ofthe things that make them different from one another.
Listed below are six common groups of mammals. On the line below each mammal's picture,
WRITE the name of its group. Use the exhibit to help make the right matches.
Which is:
O a MARSUPIAL with a pouch for carrying its young?
O a CARNIVORE that eats mostly meat?
O a MARINE MAMMAL, a mammal that lives most or all of its life in the ocean?
O a HOOFED MAMMAL, a mammal with toes covered by hard hooves?
O a RODENT, a mammal that uses its sharp chisel-shaped teeth to gnaw?
O a PRIMATE, a mammal with forward facing eyes and hands that can grasp?

Mammal Feet Are Neat!
Mammals need to move around so they can find food,find a mate, stay dry and warm and avoid predators.But different mammals move in different ways, dependingon the needs and habits of each species. By looking closelyat a mammal's feet, you can discover more about thatanimal's way of life.
Look at these drawings and read about the different jobs mammal feet can do. Then
DRAW A LINE connecting each foot to the job it does best. Find the owners of these feet
in the World of Mammals exhibit.
Webbing between the toesmakes this foot good forswimming.
A hard, firm hoof givessolid support on softground and is useful forkicking in defense.
Rough pads and sharpclaws provide traction whilechasing and hunting food.
Large claws are importantfor digging tunnels andburrowing through the soil.

Predator/Prey
A predator is an animal that hunts and kills other animalsfor food. The animal that is hunted is called the prey.
Take a close look at the dioramas in Nature Walk. Then do the following activity by
DRAWING A LINE from the predator to the prey it will eat.
PREDATORS PREY
mouse
grouse eggs
jackrabbit
Pick one of the predator/prey scenes in Nature Walk and write a story aboutwhat happened. What will happen next?

Watching Deer
In Nature Walk are four dioramas showingdeer in all four seasons. Find these dioramas and discovermore about the lives of deer in the Chicago area.
FIND the baby deer, called a fawn, in the summer scene. On the drawing below,
FILL IN the pattern that is on the fawn's fur.
LOOK at the winter scene.
Why does the fawn have coloring like this?
In the winter, food is often scarce and hard to find. What do you think the deer eatin winter? There is some food growing on the trees. Other food is below the snow.How do the deer get to the food under the snow?
What else do you notice about the deer that gives clues about how they survive the winter?

Mixed-Up Mammals
In the Carnivore section of the World of Mammals exhibit,you'll find several groups of mammals that share a commonancestor. Even though they're all related, the differentgroups of carnivores sure don't look much alike! Theirlifestyles are very different, too.
UNSCRAMBLE the names to discover mammals representing several of these groups.
Use the clues to learn some of the differences between groups of carnivores.
1. NYXL This mammal is well known for the way it silently stalks itsprey. It has long canine teeth, or fangs, and claws that pullback when they're not in use.
2. PSIRDET KKUSN This mammal's scent glands are strong weapons! A longbody and thick fur are other characteristics of its family.
3. RYZLZIG ERBA
4. TOTPDES YEANH
5. REYG FWOL
Powerful limbs and a big head with a large muzzle arecharacteristic of this mammal. Its teeth are adapted foreating both meat and plants, as you can see by lookingat the flattened molars.
Although it looks like a dog, this mammal is more closelyrelated to a cat. It is a scavenger, well known for stealingfood from other predators. Notice its big chest and jaws.
This mammal is built for running. It hunts in a pack bychasing its prey, using its long legs to cover a lot of ground.Look for the sharp canine teeth it uses to grab and pulldown its prey.

Mammal Jumble
Make a set of jumbled mammals at home or in schoolto help you remember some of the mammals at theField Museum. You can make your jumbled mammals byfollowing these directions.
You will need:
0 3 sheets of constructionpaper, all one color
0 a ruler0 a pencil0 glue0 scissors0 crayons0 pictures of the mammals
on the next 3 pages
1. COLOR the mammals on the next 3 pages.
2. GLUE the colored mammal pages to the
construction paper.
3. CUT each page in half, so each mammal is on its
own page measuring 5 x 8 1/2 inches.
4. Use the pencil and ruler to DRAW LINES dividing
the page into 5 strips, each 1 inch wide. There are marks
drawn on the edges of each page to help you put the lines
in the correct place.
5. CUT each page into strips along the lines you have just
drawn. There will be one letter in each strip.
6. MIX all the strips from all 6 mammals together. Now, put
the pieces back together and rediscover these mammals!

Predator/Prey
Eagle's prey is jackrabbit.Shrike's prey is mouse.Raccoon's prey isgrouse eggs.
Watching Deer
The fawn has spots that provide camouflage. The spotshelp the fawn blend in with its surroundings so predatorsare less likely to see it.
In winter, deer eat a variety of mosses and lichens that growon trees and on the ground. Deer scrape the ground withtheir hooves to get to the food hidden beneath the snow. Insevere winters, deer will eat tree bark and buds.
There are several ways deer increase their chances ofsurviving the winter. Their fur grows more thick and shaggy,providing a better layer of insulation to hold in their bodyheat. Snow helps deer stay warm, too. They can sleep in athick blanket of insulating snow, which also helps themmaintain their body heat.
Watching the Buck
1. spring
2. summer
3. The buck rubs his antlers against a tree to polish themfor the fall mating season. Antlers grow with a layer ofblood-rich, velvety skin that nourishes the growing bone.In the fall, this layer of skin dies, and the buck rubs it off.
fall
4. Male deer grow new antlers every year. Antlers begin togrow in the spring, then fall off in early winter, after themating season. Bucks use their antlers to show..
dominance over other males. The most dominant maleshave the most opportunity to breed with females.
