feet plantigrade (flat foot)
eyes small, especially fossorial dudes
they dont have auditory bulbae in thier skulls, which i forgot what they are.
also, no zygomatic arch!, so less muscle attachments |

shrew form
elongated snout, small braincase
restricted due to predation
i guess shrews have posion glands
family! - talpidae - moles
tunneling and burrowing - reeeeeaaaally?
fusiform shape, good for moving
smooth fur
keeled sternum lets them have more muscle attacments for stronger forearms, probably smart
eimers organs, starnosed mole has a lot of nerves in its nooose! |

Bats
hand winged ones
second largest mammal order
fruit, nectar, fish, blood, vertebrates
nocturnal!
they make guano, which is rat shit
they are successful because they fly, have echolocation, and they can migrate
same as bird and airplane flight
suborder! - megachiroptera - im assuming its giant bats
navigate with vision, as they usually dont have echolocation
no tragus ear flap
noseleaf - disperses sound
seed dispersal and pollination
migration
old world
microchoptera!
small dudes
also hae the moseleaf, but they do have a tragus
some are vampire bats
both worlds!
bat conservation!
population decline, for the usual reasons.
people eat bats, wind power kills bats

blowhole is the nostrils
practically hairless
Large relative brain.
Blubber of insulation
penis retractile, testes permenetly internal
adapted for deep dies with better blood, reduce blood flow to extremities, prevent bends
Mysticeti - lack teeth, have baleen plates

more commonly found not in tropical water.
Expand gullet, looks like giant swollen throat (with roracles).
Odontoceti - toothed, homodont
eat fish and inverts and mammals
use echolocate to get prey
one blowhole
stay near coastlines cause prey is there.

Rabbits and Hares and Pika
Terrestrial, burrow
Herbicorous, coprophagous (eat thier own feces)

rabbits have weak, vulnerable useless kids, so they make big burrows
hares have strong, viable kids. so they only have small scrapes
long hind feet for hopping
hindfeet plantigade, fore feet digitigrade
they have tiny second incisors, and fenestrated rostrums. |
