This book was released on 1999-09-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have manipulated and changed the way of life of other mammals for thousands of years. This new edition of A Natural History of Domesticated Mammals explores the progress which has been made in understanding the origins of domestication and its spread, both biologically and culturally, across the world. The archaeological evidence for the earliest dating of domestication of each species is included, reflecting the recent expansion in such studies. Human history has been inexorably linked with the exploitation and often very cruel treatment of animals. In today's society attitudes to animal welfare have improved. It is now recognised that an understanding of the ecology and behavioural patterns of wild species is necessary in ensuring the well-being and correct husbandry of their domesticated descendants. This book provides up-to-date information on the natural history of all the mammals on which human societies have depended for their survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Size: 8 1/2" x 11" 188 Pages From the INTRODUCTION. The Animal Kingdom is divided into many great classes, the first of which is known by the term of Mammalia, and comprises a vast number of animals of different forms, natures, and habits. In this little volume will be found a short history of the more prominent members of this class, whose characteristics are briefly and simply as follows. The term Mammalia is derived from the Latin word "mammalia," or breast, and is appropriated to these creatures because during their earliest days of life they obtain their nourishment from their mother's breast. They all possess a skeleton, composed of firm, solid bones; the blood is red and warm, propelled by means of a heart with four cavities, and they breathe by means of lungs, and not by gills. The skin of these creatures is almost always furnished with hairs, more or less plentiful and more or less strong. In most instances the hairs are thickly planted and moderately fine, while in some species, such as the Rabbit and the Chinchilla, they are singularly soft and downy. Sometimes the hairs are stiff and coarse, as in the Swine, and are then termed bristles, and in some instances they become enormously thick and strong, as in the Hedgehog, the Porcupine, and the Echidna, and are then called spines. Some few Mammalia are covered with a curious armour of bony plates, which are either arranged in regular bands, as in the Armadillo, or overlap each other like the tiles of a house, as in the Manis. Yet even these strangely clad creatures are also supplied with hair, which appears between the spines and plates, and upon the lower surface of the body. Members of this great class are to be found in all parts of the world, and are so formed as to be enabled to inhabit a singular variety of localities The generality of the Mammalia live upon the ground, but there are very many species which are seldom seen upon the surface of the earth. Some, as for example, the whole Monkey tribe, are, as a rule, inhabitants of trees; and the Bats are denizens of air, together with the birds. The whales are only to be found in the sea; and there are many creatures, among whom the Common Mole is the most prominent, which pass the greater part of their existence below the surface of the ground.
