List of placental mammals: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The class Mammalia (the Mammals) is divided into two subclasses based on reproductive techniques: egg laying mammals (the Monotremes); and mammals which give live birth. The latter subclass is divided into two infraclasses: pouched mammals (the marsupials); and the placental mammals.

This list contains the placental mammals. For monotremes and marsupials, see List of monotremes and marsupials.
