Mammals<\/h2>\n
\n

There are over\u00a05,500 different species<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0mammals<\/strong>. Mammals live on land, underground, in the air, or in fresh or salt water, but despite their diverse habitats, there are several things that mammals have in common: All mammals are\u00a0vertebrates<\/strong>, meaning they have a backbone,\u00a0they all make their own body heat, they all produce milk for their young<\/strong>, and\u00a0they all have some type of hair or fur<\/strong>. Mammals are found in every part of the world and are an incredibly diverse group of animals.<\/p>\n

Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park has over\u00a0460<\/strong>\u00a0mammals representing\u00a064<\/strong>\u00a0different species.<\/p>\n

We try to keep this list up to date but the animals at the zoo are subject to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recognizes 5,448 mammal species. At least 21% of mammal species are considered at risk of extinction. In the United States alone there are over 80 species of endangered mammals. Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park cares for 9 threatened mammal species, including one specie that is extinct in the wild. Here they are protected from predators, pollution, habitat loss, and human-caused threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
