Overview
There was a day, not too long ago in geological terms, when the only mammals were tiny, shrewlike animals cowering beneath the grass as the thundering footsteps of dinosaurs rocked their world. Now look! Mammals -- from dogs to dolphins and from chimps to humans -- are everywhere, and they come in a fabulous array of shapes and sizes, habits and means of locomotion. In MAMMALS, Discovery Channel explores the world of mammals and investigates humans' special connection with our animal "classmates." The more we know about mammals, the more we know about ourselves and our world.Synopsis
