Definitions and characteristics of various animal classes including monotremata (platypuses, echidnas), proboscidea (elephants), sirenia (manatees, dugongs), carnivora (dogs, wolves, bears, weasels, otters, seals, walruses), and artiodactyls (sheep, pigs, cattle, deer, giraffes). Monotremes lay eggs and have young that suck milk from their mother's fur. Proboscidea have a long muscular trunk and thick, loose skin with elongated upper incisors as tusks. Sirenia are aquatic animals with fin-like forelimbs and no hind limbs, and are herbivorous. Carnivora have sharp, pointed canine teeth and molars for shearing, and are carnivorous. Artiodactyls have hooves with an even number of toes on each foot and are herbivores.
