Zoology Mammal Quiz Info

Hey everyone,

First of all, I want to say I'm glad you're all safe after the storms the other night.  It was a crazy evening, to say the least!  With school being called off on Thursday, it set us back a day for the testing schedule.  Today we will have the practical over the rat .... and then on Monday, we'll take the mammal quiz.  Here is the rundown for the mammal quiz on Monday:

Know what makes a mammal a mammal (a minimum of four facts)

Know facts about these orders:  Monotremes, marsuipals, and placental mammals

Know facts about the following Kansas animals (some of you may have been absent, so get these notes before you take this quiz!):

• Bison
• Elk
• Armadillo
• Big Brown Bat
• Hoary Bat
• Badger

The test will be multiple choice and/or fill in the blank.  20 (ish) points or so.  Good luck!
