Why were there far more species of domesticated animals in Eurasia than in the Americas? The Americas harbor over a thousand native wild mammal species, so you might initially suppose that the Americas offered plenty of starting material for domestication.
Jared Diamond

There's nothing wrong with being a large mammal.
Jim Morrison

I am really a sea creature. Just a mammal that lost its fins.
Kathleen Quinlan

Eighty-two percent of Australia's bird species and two thirds of Australia's mammal species can be found on our (Australian Wildlife Conservancy) reserves. We put teams of people on the frontline in the battle against feral animals, wildfires and noxious weeds. Science underpins everything we do.

Being a caregiver for your child is part of the job description of being a mammal.
Mayim Bialik

I feel like having an actual taxidermy-ed mammal would get gross, like its hair would get dirty and stuff.

If you found a mammal with feathers, then you'd know that Darwin was wrong. Well, it's rather the same with memes.
Susan Blackmore

We haven't been able yet to determine in terms of genes what makes a human being a human and not another mammal.
Walter Gilbert
Image
Over millions of years the viruses in our genome mutate more and more so the look less and less and less recognizable as viruses and so if there was a virus that infected our pre mammal ancestors like 250 million years ago, which it probably did, we can't see it because it just looks totally random.
Carl Zimmer

Man can be defined, if one wishes, as a languag-ized mammal.
Charlton Laird

Animals are indeed more ancient, more complex and in many ways more sophisticated than us. They are more perfect because they remain within Nature’s fearful symmetry just as Nature intended. They should be respected and revered, but perhaps none more so than the elephant, the world’s most emotionally human land mammal.
Daphne Sheldrick

The largest living land mammal is the absent mind.
Don Van Vliet

From a simple, mammal perspective, you think you're going to make friends through the movie. You think, Oh, this kind of humor that I play with will bring people that have a similar kind of humor. I'll make new friends, or something. You don't even think in terms of audience or of money.
Gaspar Noe

We are the only species of mammal that doubts our ability to give birth. It's profitable to scare women about birth. But let's stop it. I tell women: Your body is not a lemon.
Ina May Gaskin
Image
Thousands of years ago, humans domesticated every possible large wild mammal species fulfilling all those criteria and worth domesticating, with the result that there have been no valuable additions of domestic animals in recent times, despite the efforts of modern science.
Jared Diamond

As a comedian, as a person, as a citizen, as a mammal - in all of those areas, I am looking forward to the end of the Bush administration with every fiber of my being.
Jon Stewart

When an eighty-five pound mammal licks your tears away, then tries to sit on your lap, it's hard to feel sad.
Kristan Higgins

We live in a dancing matrix of viruses they dart, rather like bees, from organism to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party.

Isimangaliso must be the only place on the globe where the oldest land mammal (rhinoceros) and the world biggest terrestrial mammal (elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (whale)
Nelson Mandela

Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations.

I believe the time has come to acknowledge that the practice of routine circumcision rests on the absurd premise that the only mammal in creation born in the condition that requires immediate surgical correction is the human male.
Thomas Szasz

For any species to change, if they are unable and are unwilling to do so - I might, for example, have suggested to the dinosaurs that heavy armor and great size was a sinking ship, and that they do well to convert to mammal facilities - it would not lie in my power or desire to reconvert a reluctant dinosaur.
William S. Burroughs
Image
We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts.
Barbara Kingsolver

Even the humblest mammal's strong sexual, parental, and social instincts give rise to 'do unto others as yourself' and 'love thy neighbor as thyself'.
