How to make a Mammal Develop for carnivory = active Hair – warm bloodedness Limbs; under body, toes of equal length Teeth; regionalization, multi roots, cutting Lower jaw – one bone Not there – change in reproduction

Echidna – egg in pouch, Hatches in 9 days – young in pouch for 12 weeks. Gets milk.
23
Marsupials and Placentals – Parallelism And no eggs
24
Marsupial and placental reproduction; clevage total and equal - blastula forms with inner cell mass
25
Inner cell mass forms layers of cells inside blastula Embryo implants into uterine wall
26
On plate inside embryo – primitive streak forms Get chorion, amnion, allantois and yolk sac Placenta = chorion plus yolk sac in marsupials Placenta = chorion plus allantois in placentals
