here’s a fun animal I saw in Borneo: the mammal!
unlike the rest of us, mammals are endothermic and produce their own body heat—but they’re not birds! it is covered in a thick coat of hair (you guessed it, separate evolutionary origin from feathers) and secretes a fatty liquid from special glands to nurture its larvae. mammals can be found almost worldwide and are highly adaptable. this one was making odd squeaking noises, possibly begging for morsels of food.
here’s another mammal I saw. pretty sure it’s a different species but I’m not an expert on identifying them
fun mammal fact: some are curiously soft to the touch! try palpating the next mammal you see, but please be careful. some may bite!
