The evolution of mammalian posture from sprawled to upright is complex and occurred later than previously believed.

Echidnas evolved from a water-dwelling ancestor, transitioning to land, a rare evolutionary event among mammals.

Some mammals are 'lunar phobic', while others thrive in bright moonlight.

Mammals possess complex neurological mechanisms for responding to sensations through their fur, which could lead to enhanced understanding of skin sensitivity.

Bird flu (H5N1) affecting mammals like dolphins can have deadly consequences even with significant drug resistance mutations.

Bird flu can pass between mammals, but transmission to humans through milk is unlikely.
