6. Essential Question What is a mammal?

7. Classifying animals • Taxonomy: science of naming animals based on characteristics they share • Invented by: Carol (Carl) Linnaeus • ALL things (living and non) have 7 names • We use the last 2 • Using last two names is called • Bi(2)nominal nomenclature OR • Scientific classification

8. 7 Names • As you travel down the “ladder” the groups get smaller until you get to one specific animal you’re looking for!

9. Activity Break! • Kingdom - King • Phylum - Phillip • Class - Came • Order - Over • Family - For • Genus - Good • Species - Spaghetti • Activity: Each group come up with your own memory sentence ! You have 3 minutes. Write them on the board to share with the class.

10. Scientific Classification • Always in Latin • Italics (if typed) • Cursive if written • First name is the Genus • Upper case • Second name is the species • Always lowercase • Common name: • The name we use on a daily basis • Example: • Jaguar: (Panthera onca)

11. Mammal: Definition • An animal of the class Mammalia, characterized by being warm-blooded, having hair and feeding milk to its young, have vertebrae

12. Mammal: Characteristics • MUST BE: • Endotherms: warm-blooded, maintain their own body temperature • Example: Humans are always approx 98.6 degrees. You get cold, you put on a ____? • Hair on majority of body • Adaptation to help maintain body heat • Mammary glands • Produce milk for young • Live-bearing: • Give birth to live young

13. Mammal: Exception!?! • Monotremes • Mammal that lays egg • There are only 2! • Platypus - US • Akidna – Australia

15. Basic Mammal Classes / Groups • Subclass Theria • Give birth to live young • Specialized dentition based on diet • Infraclass Metatheria: Marsupials • Babies develop in mother’s pouch • Infraclass Eutheria: Placentals • Babies develop in a placenta inside mother • More developed young at birth

16. Activity • Utilizing your textbooks: 1 talk, 1 write • Fill in Frayer Model • Mammals • Seat 1 and 2 • Reptiles • Seats 1 and 2 • Amphibians • Seats 3 and 4 • Fish • Seats 3 and 4 • Share with your neighbors

25. Mammals: Dogs Overview

26. Objectives • Define dog groups • Analyze characteristics of dog groupings

27. Essential Question • How are dogs classified?

28. History • Evolved from wolves • Hunting aides, protection • Humans picked based on desired traits • Selective breeding • animals with the best (most desired) traits kept for breeding • Examples: • Color, Size, Temperament (attitude), abilities

29. General Care • Feeding depends on age • Less meals per day as animal gets older • High in protein • Regular Grooming • Bath, clean ears, brush teeth, clip nails • Depends on coat type = how regular • Training • House break (no potty inside!) • Regular procedures • Nail clipping, brushing, sit, stay, etc • For safety • Exercise • Prevents destructive behavior

40. Anatomy: Review (Where is your worksheet?)

42. Think about it • Dog Video Questions worksheet

43. Summarize your Video • Your friend has contacted you with pet problems. Their new dog, a PitBull Mix, seems to be showing signs of aggression and sadness. The new dog never wags his tail high and happy. Their new pet also is food aggressive and will not allow their smaller Yorkie to eat unless their bowls are separated. Finally, while they are playing, the new dog always pins the poor Yorkie to the ground. Using your knowledge from the wolf video and books, explain to your friend the natural reasons for this behavior in their new dog and how they may be able to fix it. The owner knows PitBulls are an aggressive breed, and if the behaviors are not addressed (understood by the owner and fixed), the PitBull Mix will go back to pound. Your letter should be one page double spaced written legible and PRINT your name for the signature

44. Peer Edit • Following the rubric below, give you dog behavior expert a grade. Once finished grade your letter _____/20. Give 2 things they could do improve their letter. Return to the owner. After review these will be collected

45. Activities • 1. Chapter 7: Dogs • Please answer the discussion questions at the end of the chapter (5 breeds per question) • Only COMPLETE sentences receive COMPLETE credit • Review of Dog Groups • Design a graphic organizer based on dog groups learned yesterday

46. Horror of Puppy Mills Read the Article Answer the following What is a puppy mill? What are common characteristics of puppy mills (conditions) Why are puppy mills “bad”? Why are puppy mills “needed” by society ? (Extend your thinking) Explain in 5 – 10 sentences your view on puppy mills, their purpose, and their role in the pet trade.
