When a nursing baby short-beaked echidna begins to grow spines, it leaves its mother’s pouch.It comes back to nurse at her milk patches for several months. Native to Tasmania and New Guinea, echidnas are monotremes unlike most other mammals, monotremes never evolved live birth, but instead lay eggs like their amniote ancestors. Monotremes produce milk for their young. But they lack nipples; instead, their milk oozes out of ducts of their mammary glands onto specialized patches of skin.

What’s the smallest mammal that ever lived? The tiny creature namedBatodonoides vanhouteni was so small, it could have perched on a pencil. With an estimated body weight of just 1.3 grams less than a twentieth of an ounce it weighed only about as much as a dollar bill. It lived approximately 50 million years ago and is related to modern shrews and moles. Batodonoides was named by American Museum of Natural History paleontologist Michael Novacek.Also it's frigid cuteeee. 

The Angora Rabbit has a long history and believe it or not is one of the oldest types of domesticated rabbits. This particular species of rabbit was extremely popular with French royalty way back in the mid-eighteenth century. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until the 20th century that they made their way across the pond to North America but I guess it is better late than never as I am sure these large, fluffy animals make great pets. There are numerous individual breeds of Angora Rabbits, however, only 4 our recognized by the Angora Rabbit Breeders Association. These include the English, French, Satin and of course the Giant Angora Rabbit.

There are more than 60 different species of opossum, which are often called possums. The most notable is the Virginia opossum or common opossum the only marsupial found in the United States and Canada.A female opossum gives birth to helpless young as tiny as honeybees. Babies immediately crawl into the mother's pouch, where they continue to develop. As they get larger, they will go in and out of the pouch and sometimes ride on the mother's back as she hunts for food. Opossums may give birth to as many as 20 babies in a litter, but fewer than half of them survive. Some never even make it as far as the pouch.

The Angwantibo, or Golden Potto, is a small primate that lives in tropical Africa. It has soft fur and slender arms and legs and almost no tail. It has five toes on each foot. Its hands are unusual It has two long fingers and two shorter fingers, and one of the fingers is little more than a fleshy pad. It is a good climber. It feeds on insects. It will pick insects off leaves and twigs, and it is also able to catch flying insects right out of the air.

Slow lorises vary in colour from grey to white depending on their range. They are plumper and shorter-limbed than slender lorises. They have strong grasping hands and feet, with opposable thumbs. Slow lorises have dark rings around their eyes and a dark stripe running along the backThey are nocturnal and arboreal. They spend the day sleeping in a tight ball up a tree, with their head between their thighs, but become active at sunset. They are thought to be solitary, and males have larger ranges than the females. Slow lorises make a buzzing hiss sound when disturbed. They move quadrupedally and slowly through the forest.

The slender loris nocturnal primate spends the day curled up in a tight ball. It approaches prey slowly and stealthily, before reaching out and grabbing it with both hands.There are six subspecies and they range across sri lanka and southern india.They live for about 15 years and slender lorises eat almost anything.They live in tropical forests,shrub forest,and semi-deicidous forests and swamps.Slender lorises breed twice a year and you usually give birth birth to one offspring but sometimes two.
