Chapter 28, Problem 17RQ
Summary Introduction
To define: The terms Marsupialia, Monotremata, Eutheria, and Theria and to list the mammal group under these taxons.
Introduction: The living mammals are classified into two clades, namely, therians, and monotremes. The living mammals include 29 orders, that is, monotremes (one order), marsupials (seven orders), and placentals (21 orders).

This clade is the sister taxon to reptiles. Adults are terrestrial and nocturnal, while the young are diurnal. Larval forms of most species are herbivorous while adults are insectivorous/carnivorous. The closest living relatives of avian reptiles. They are known as the "side necked" turtles. Have elongate, tapering snouts and, with the mouth closed, the 4th tooth on the lower jaw is visible. Most diverse and speciose clade of reptiles. Adults of this taxon are known to be cannibalistic on younger individuals. Possess teeth set in bony sockets and replace teeth throughout their lives.
