Mammals

Mamalya

Contents

Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a constituting the class Mammalia. That is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, the secretion of milk by females for the nourishment of the young, and most members the birth of live young and some are lay eggs.


Synapsids are a wider class of living creatures that includes mammals. These creatures are vertebrates that lay amniotic eggs as well as a single opening behind their eye sockets called the temporal fenestra. By around 252 million to 201 million years ago, members of reptilian order Therapsida gave rise to mammals during Triassic Period. Therapsids, members of the Synapsida subclass (also known as the mammal-like reptiles), were typically underwhelming in comparison to all other vertebrates of their time.

List of Mammals

Eutriconodonta (unclassified)

The Eutriconodonta is an order of early mammals. Eutriconodonts existed in Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America during the Jurassic and the Cretaceous periods. The Monster Hunter games, Assassin's Creed, and Rapunzel's Tangled do not explicitly classify any of these eutriconodonts as an official canon class, despite their type.


Monotremata (unclassified)

The order Monotremata includes mammals known as monotremes. They are the only species of living mammals to lay eggs as opposed to giving birth to live young. The platypus and the four echidna species are the only extant monotreme species. The Monster Hunter games, Assassin's Creed, and Rapunzel's Tangled do not explicitly classify any of these monotremes as an official canon class, despite their type.


Platypuses (Ornithorhynchidae)

The platypus and its extinct relatives are found in the Ornithorhynchidae, one of the two extant families in the order Monotremata. The Tachyglossidae, or echidna family, is the other one.


Echidnas or Monotreme Anteaters (Tachyglossidae)

The monotremes known as echidnas, also referred to as spiny anteaters, are covered in quills and are a member of the Tachyglossidae family. The only living mammal egg-layers and remaining members of the order Monotremata are the four extant echidna species and the platypus.


Eutheria (unclassified)

The clade of therian mammals that is more closely associated with placentals than to marsupials is known as eutheria. Different phenotypic characteristics of the feet, ankles, jaws, and teeth set eutherians apart from noneutherians. In the Monster Hunter, Assassin's Creed, and Rapunzel's Tangled, any of these eutherians in type are not recognized as canon classes; rather, they are not classified explicitly. With the exception of placentals, marsupials, metatherians, and archaic mammals also give birth to live children, but they lack these structures. From the birth canal, an embryo that resembles a fetus climbs into its mother's pouch.


Shrew Opossums (Caenolestidae)

The family Caenolestidae contains the seven surviving species of shrew opossum: small, shrew-like marsupials that are confined to the Andes mountains of South America. The order is thought to have diverged from the ancestral marsupial line very early.


Microbiotheriidae

The monito del monte is the sole extant member of the Microbiotheriidae family of australidelphian marsupials. Other extinct members have been identified from fossils found in South America, Western Antarctica, as well as northeastern Australia.


Woodburnodontidae (Antarctic Opossums)

On Seymour Island, Antarctica, fossils of the extinct genus of microbiotherian marsupials known as Woodburnodon were discovered. It existed in the Eocene era. Although fossils of an unidentified Early Eocene woodburnodontid have also been discovered in Patagonia, Woodburnodon is currently the only species in the family Woodburnodontidae that has been formally described.


Polydolopimorphia (Marsupial Jerboas)

In comparison to other extinct mammals, the jerboa-like marsupials known as Polydolopimorphia are more closely related to living marsupials. Despite the lack of a clear classification, none of these Polydolopimorphs are recognized as canon classes in the Monster Hunter, Assassin's Creed, or Rapunzel's Tangled. With the exception of placentals, marsupials, metatherians, and archaic mammals also give birth to live children, but they lack these structures. From the birth canal, an embryo that resembles a fetus climbs into its mother's pouch.


Fanged Beasts (Haichmirotherian)

The Fanged Beasts, also known as Pelagus and Primatius monsters in early titles, are beastly, eutherian mammalians that lack wings (although some have the ability to glide) introduced in Monster Hunter 2. They are often much faster than other larger threats. Marsupials, metatherians, and ancient mammals, except for placentals, give live birth too, but they don't have these structures. A fetus-like embryo climbs from the birth canal into its mother's pouch.


Marsupial Moles (Notoryctidae)

The Notoryctidae, which includes two species known from the interior of Australia, are highly specialized marsupial mammals. Long, flattish body with short tail, short, stout legs, and spade-like front feet; silky, pale blond fur; no discernible eyes or ears; nose has flat, callused shield; female has pouch with two teats that opens backward.


Marsupial Mice, Quolls, Kowaris to Tasmanian Devils (Dasyuridae)

There are currently 70+ extant species of marsupials in the Dasyuridae family, which are native to Australia and New Guinea, or in Sawintir, Reinachos, and Delphia. These species range from antechinuses to Tasmanian devils. Dasyurids typically range in size from 5 to 6 g to 8 kg. Even though they come in a variety of sizes, most have a similar shape, with a moderately long body, long, pointed head, long tail that is typically covered in fur, and short to medium-length legs. The tail cannot be grasped.


Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacinidae)

The Thylacinidae is an extinct family of carnivorous, superficially dog-like marsupials from the order Dasyuromorphia. The only species to survive into modern times was the thylacine, which became extinct in 1936 before Earth Responsibly universe begin.


Marsupial Anteaters (Myrmecobiidae)

An insectivorous marsupial, the numbat is also referred to as the noombat or the walpurti. It is a diurnal creature, and termites make up almost all of its diet. The species used to be common throughout southern Australia, but it is now only found in a few small colonies in Western Australia, the rest of Southeast Asia, and the Sawintir realm.


Marsupial Ferrets or Marsupial Skinks (Malleodectidae)

The Malleodectidae is a group of family of unusual ferret- or skink-like marsupials, first discovered in 2011 at Riversleigh, Queensland, Australia. It could grow as large as a ferret, and lived in the Miocene, 17 million years ago to present-day.


†False Bandicoots (Yaralidae)

The Yarala is a genus of fossil mammals that resemble contemporary bandicoots. The superfamily Yaraloidea and family Yaralidae were created following the discovery the discovery of the type species Yarala burchfieldi in 1995.


†Pig-footed Bandicoots (Chaeropodidae)

The Chaeropus, known as the pig-footed bandicoots, is a genus of small marsupials that became extinct during the 20th century recently after Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, and until before Historya Davvun to Weather Dragons. They were the only members of the family Chaeropodidae in order Peramelemorphia, with unusually thin legs, yet were able to move rapidly.


Bilbies or Marsupial Rabbits (Macrotidae/Thylacomyidae)

The Macrotis is a genus of desert-dwelling marsupial omnivores known as bilbies or rabbit-bandicoots; they are members of the order Peramelemorphia. At the time of European colonisation of Australia, there were two species. The lesser bilby became extinct in the 1950s; the greater bilby survives but remains endangered


True Bandicoots (Peramelidae)

The marsupial family Peramelidae contains the extant bandicoots. They are found throughout Australia and New Guinea, with at least some species living in every available habitat, from rainforest to desert. Four fossil peramelids are described. The bandicoot is a member of the order Peramelemorphia, and the word "bandicoot" is often used informally to refer to any peramelemorph, such as the bilby. The term originally referred to the unrelated placental Indian bandicoot rat from the Telugu word pandikokku (పందికొక్కు).


†Ektopodontidae

The Ektopodon is an extinct genus of marsupial, and is the type genus of the family Ektopodontidae which occurred in forested environments in South Australia, Queensland and Victoria. The last species of this group went extinct in the early Pleistocene. Its body mass was estimated around 1300 grams.


Marsupial Lions (Thylacoleonidae)

The Thylacoleonidae is a family of former extinct carnivorous marsupials from Australia, referred to as marsupial lions. The best known is Thylacoleo carnifex, also called the marsupial lion.


Koalas or Marsupial Bears (Phascolarctidae)

The Phascolarctidae is a family of marsupials of the order Diprotodontia, consisting of only one extant species, the koala, and six well-known fossil species, with another five less well known fossil species, and two fossil species of the genus Koobor, whose taxonomy is debatable but are placed in this group.


†Wynyardiidae


†Ilariidae


†Mukupirnidae


†Maradidae


Wombats (Vombatidae)

The Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials of the family Vombatidae that are native to Australia. Living species are about 1 m in length with small, stubby tails and weigh between 20 and 35 kg.


Giant Wombats (Diprotodontoidea)

A Diprotodontidae is an extinct family of large herbivorous marsupials, endemic to Australia and New Guinea during the Oligocene through Pleistocene periods from 28.4 million to 40,000 years ago. The family primarily consisted of large quadrupedal terrestrial browsers, notably including the largest marsupial that ever lived, the rhino-sized Diprotodon. Nimbadon, which is sometimes considered a basal diprotodontid, was arboreal. Diprotodontids were plantigrade (foot and toes flat relative to the ground). In most diprotodontids, the forelimbs were not specalised and were cabable of being used for functions other than movement. Some later diprotodontids from the Pliocene onwards like Ambulator and Diprotodon developed elephant-like forelimbs specialised for walking with modified wristbones which functioned as a heel, along with the development of footpads, which means that the digits probably did not contact the ground, as evidenced by the lack of toes on footprints of Diprotodon.


Marsupial Tapirs (Palorchestidae)

The Palorchestidae is an extinct family of vombatiform marsupials whose members are sometimes referred to as marsupial tapirs due to the retracted nasal region of the their skulls causing them to superficially resemble those of true tapirs. The idea that they had a tapir-like trunk has been contested, with other authors contending that it is more likely that they had a prehensile lip and protrusible tongue instead.


† Quadrupedal Kangaroos (Balbaridae)

The Balbaridae is an extinct family of basal Macropodoidea. The synapomorphies are divided into two areas, the dental and cranial.


Hypsiprymnodontidae (Omnivorous Kangaroos)

The Hypsiprymnodontidae are a family of macropods, one of two families containing animals commonly referred to as rat-kangaroos. The two known extant genus and species in this family, the musky rat-kangaroo, Hypsiprymnodon moschatus, occurs in northern Australia, and a sigbin, occurs in the Philippines as only mythical and first Asian's marsupial.


Potoroidae (Bettongs, Potoroos, and Rat-kangaroos)

The Potoroidae is a family of marsupials, small Australian animals known as bettongs, potoroos, and rat-kangaroos. All are rabbit-sized, brown, jumping marsupials and resemble a large rodent or a very small wallaby.


Possums and Cuscuses (Phalangeridae)

The Phalangeridae are a family of mostly nocturnal marsupials native to Australia, New Guinea, and Eastern Indonesia. These are including the cuscuses, brushtail possums, and their close relatives.


Pygmy Possums (Burramyidae)

The pygmy possums are a family of small possums that together form the marsupial family Burramyidae. The five extant species of pygmy possum are grouped into two genera. Four of the species are endemic to Australia, with one species also co-occurring in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.


Ring-tailed Possums and Allies (Pseudocheiridae)

The Pseudocheiridae is a family of arboreal marsupials containing 17 extant species of ringtailed possums and close relatives. They are found in forested areas and shrublands throughout Australia and New Guinea.


Possums and Sugar Gliders (Petauridae)

The Petauridae is a family of possums containing 11 species: four species of trioks and striped possum, six species of wrist-winged glider, and Leadbeater's possum, which has only vestigial gliding membranes.


Honey Possums (Tarsipedidae)

The honey possum or noolbenger, is a tiny species of marsupial that feeds on the nectar and pollen of a diverse range of flowering plants. Found only in southwest Australia, it is an important pollinator for such plants as Banksia attenuata, Banksia coccinea and Adenanthos cuneatus.


Feathertails (Acrobatidae)

This small family of marsupials contains two genera, each with a single species, Acrobates pygmaeus in Australia and Distoechurus pennatus in New Guinea. The Acrobatidae are a small family of gliding marsupials.


False-rabbits (Hegetotheriidae)

The Hegetotheriidae is an extinct family of rabbit- or mara-like notoungulate mammals known from the Oligocene through the Pliocene of South America.


Isotemnidae

The Isotemnidae is an extinct family of notoungulate mammals known from the Paleocene (Las Flores Formation, Itaboraian) to Middle Miocene (Honda Group, Laventan) of South America. These are from the fact that the two groups shared many similarities but were also incredibly different shape from Entelodontidae or various ungulates as the result of convergent evolution, since, while quite unrelated to modern peccaries, hippos, and chevrotains.


Toxodons (Toxodontidae)

The Toxodontidae is an former extinct family of notoungulate mammals, known from the Oligocene to the Holocene (11,000 BP) of South America, with one genus, Mixotoxodon, also known from the Pleistocene of Central America and southern North America (as far north as Texas). Notable exception for Camahueto of Chile. Member of the family were medium to large-sized, and had medium to high-crowned dentition, which in derived members of the group evolved into ever-growing cheek teeth. Isotopic analyses have led to the conclusion that Pleistocene members of the family were flexible mixed feeders (both browsing and grazing). These similarities are the result of convergent evolution, since, while quite unrelated to modern rhinos and hippos.


Chalicotheres (Chalicotheriidae)

The Chalicotheres are an possibly extinct clade of herbivorous, odd-toed ungulate mammals that lived in North America, Eurasia, and Africa from the Middle Eocene until the Early Pleistocene, existing from 48.6 to 1.806 mya (except for Tikbalang of the Philippines). They are one of the five major radiations of perissodactyls, with three groups living, and two extinct.


True Unicorns (Monocerequuidae)

The unicorn is a legendary creature in the family Monocerequuidae, that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. These similarities are the result of convergent evolution, since, while quite unrelated to modern horses with single horn, filled with ecological niche as horses, antelopes, and deer.


Rhinoceros (Rhinocerotidae)

A rhinoceros or nosehorns (/raɪˈnɒsərəs/; from Ancient Greek ῥῑνόκερως (rhīnókerōs) 'nose-horned'; from ῥῑνός (rhīnós) 'nose', and κέρας (kéras) 'horn'), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae (it can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea). Two of the extant species are native to Africa, and three to South and Southeast Asia. Rhinoceroses are some of the largest remaining megafauna: all weigh at least one tonne in adulthood. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains 400–600 g (14–21 oz) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick 1.5–5 cm (0.59–1.97 in), protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths; they rely instead on their lips to pluck food.


Horses (Equidae)

The Equidae is the taxonomic family of horses and related animals, including the extant horses, donkeys, and zebras, and many other species known only from fossils. The family evolved around 50 million years ago from a small, multi-toed ungulate into larger, single-toed animals.


The word equus is Latin for "horse" and is cognate with the Greek ἵππος (hippos, "horse") and Mycenaean Greek i-qo /ikkʷos/, the earliest attested variant of the Greek word, written in Linear B syllabic script. Compare the alternative development of the Proto-Greek labiovelar in Ionic ἴκκος (ikkos).


The English name "zebra" derives from Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. Its origins may lie in the Latin equiferus, meaning "wild horse". Equiferus appears to have entered into Portuguese as ezebro or zebro, which was originally used for a legendary equine in the wilds of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. In 1591, Italian explorer Filippo Pigafetta recorded "zebra" being used to refer to the African animals by Portuguese visitors to the continent. In ancient times, the African zebra was called hippotigris ("horse tiger") by the Greeks and Romans.


Tragulidae (Mouse-deer/Chevrotains)

The Chevrotains, or mouse-deer, are diminutive, even-toed ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, and are the only living members of the infraorder Tragulina. The 10 extant species are placed in three genera, but several species also are known only from fossils.


Pronghorns (Antilocapridae)

The Antilocapridae are a family of artiodactyls endemic to North America. Their closest extant relatives are the giraffids with which they comprise the superfamily Giraffoidea. Only two species, the pronghorn and the Delgeth, are still living today; all other members of the family are extinct. 


Giraffe-deer (Climacoceratidae)


Giraffes (Giraffidae)

The Giraffidae are a family of ruminant artiodactyl mammals that share a common ancestor with deer and bovids. This family, once a diverse group spread throughout Eurasia and Africa, presently comprises only two extant genera, the giraffe and the okapi.


Hirsh/Deer (Cervidae)

A hirsh, deer or true deer is a hoofed ruminant mammal of the family Cervidae. The two main groups of deer are the Cervinae, including muntjac, elk, red deer, and fallow deer; and the Capreolinae, including reindeer, white-tailed deer, roe deer, and moose.


Grazing Antelopes and Allies (Bovidae)

The biological family of ruminant, cloven-hoofed mammals known as the Bovidae includes cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, and caprines. A bovid is a member of this family. The family Bovidae includes 13 major tribes, 11 major subfamilies, and 143 known extant species in addition to 300 known extinct species.


Suina


Old World Peccaries (Doliochoeridae)

Between the Early Oligocene and the Late Miocene, a family of suoid artiodactyl ungulates known as the Doliochoeridae was widely distributed in Eurasia and Africa.


Sanitheriidae

From the Early Miocene to the Middle Miocene, the Sanitheriidae family of suoid artiodactyl ungulates existed and were widely distributed in Africa, Europe, and South Asia. The dentition and limb morphology suggest sanitheres were more carnivorous as well as cursorial than pigs and peccaries.


Pigs (Suidae)

The Suidae is a family of artiodactyl mammals which are commonly called pigs, hogs or swine. In addition to numerous fossil species, 18 extant species are currently recognized, classified into between four and eight genera.


Peccaries/Javelinas (Tayassuidae)

A medium-sized, pig-like ungulate belonging to the Tayassuidae family is called a peccary. They are widespread in Trinidad in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and the southwest of North America.


Camels and Llamas (Tylopoda)

The suborder Tylopoda is made up of even-toed, terrestrial herbivorous ungulates that are part of the Artiodactyla phylum. Australian feral camels have been introduced, but they are still found in the wild in their native habitats in South America and Asia. Before being modified by the Aesirs in 300000 BCE, the group had a lengthy fossil past events in North America and Eurasia.


Hippos and Allies (Ancodonta)

The suborder Ancodonta includes the modern hippopotamus and all mammals that are more closely related to hippos than to cetaceans. Some of the earliest examples of ancodonts have been discovered in fossil deposits in Southeast Asia, dating to the Middle Eocene.


Raoellidae


Pakicetidae


Ambulocetidae


Remingtonocetidae


Protocetidae

The Protocetidae, the protocetids, form a diverse and heterogeneous group of extinct cetaceans known from Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, and North America.


Basilosauridae (Serpent Whales)

The former extinct family of cetaceans known as Basilosauridae. They are known from every continent, including Antarctica, and lived during the middle to early late Eocene. With the exception of Abriknatok of the Garo Hills in India, which can swim in all types of water and can leap into the air, they were most likely the first fully aquatic cetaceans.


Baleen Whales (Mysticeti)

The suborder of carnivorous marine mammals known as baleen whales, also known as whalebone whales, uses keratinaceous baleen plates in their mouths to filter planktonic organisms out of the water. The order Mysticeti is composed of the families Cetotheriidae, Balaenidae, Balaenopteridae, and Eschrichtiidae.


Delphinida

A clade of cetaceans known as the Delphinida belongs to the group of toothed whales, or Odontoceti. The Lipotidae and Iniidae families, as well as all contemporary oceanic dolphins and porpoises, are included in this group. In the Monster Hunter, Assassin's Creed, and Rapunzel's Tangled, any of these dolphins in type are not recognized as canon classes, despite the lack of a clear distinction.


River Dolphins (Inioidea)

One living genus, Inia, and four extinct genuses make up the river dolphin family Iniidae. The current genus lives in the river basins of South America, but historically, the family was more widespread across the Atlantic Ocean.


Narwhals and Belugas (Monodontidae)

The narwhal and the beluga whale are two species of living whales that belong to the cetacean family Monodontidae. At least four other extinct species are known from the fossil record. Native to coastal areas, belugas and narwhals pack ice around the Arctic Ocean.


Dolphins (Delphinidae)

A large family of dolphins that inhabits the sea are known as oceanic dolphins or Delphinidae. There are acknowledged to be almost forty extant species. Several large species, like the Globicephalinae, have common names that include "whale" rather than "dolphin."


Porpoises (Phocoenidae)

All members of the family Phocoenidae, suborder Odontoceti, which includes porpoises, are fully aquatic marine mammals. Even though they resemble dolphins, they are actually more closely related to narwhals and belugas than to the actual dolphins.


Sperm Whales (Physeteroidea)

Three living species of whales are members of the Physeteroidea superfamily, including the sperm whale (Physeter), the pygmy sperm whale, and the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia).


Beaked Whales (Ziphiidae)

Due to their deep-sea habitat, solitary lifestyle, and presumed low abundance, the beaked whale family of cetaceans is regarded as one of the least well-known groups of mammals. Of the 24 species currently in existence, only three or four are essentially well-known.


Canids (Canidae)

The family of mammals known as Canidae, which is part of the order Carnivora, includes domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, jackals, dingoes, and numerous other living and extinct canine-like mammals. A member of this family is referred to as a canid; canines are the collective name for all living species that belong to the Caninae subfamily.


Ursidae (Bears)

The Ursidae family of carnivorous mammals includes bears. They are categorized as caniforms, or carnivorans that resemble dogs. Even though there are only eight species of bears left in the world, they are widely distributed and can be found in a variety of habitats in the Northern Hemisphere and to some extent in the Southern Hemisphere.


Musteloidea (unclassified)

Carnivorous mammals belonging to the superfamily Musteloidea share similar skull and tooth features. Pinnipeds, the group that includes seals, are related to musteloids. The families Ailuridae, Mustelidae, Procyonidae, and Mephitidae make up the Musteloidea. The Monster Hunter series, Assassin's Creed, and Rapunzel's Tangled all lack an explicit classification, making any of these Musteloids in type an unofficial canon class.


Weasels and Ferrets (Mustelinae)

The Weasels, ferrets, and minks are members of the Mustelidae family, which also includes the Mustelinae. It was previously defined in a paraphyletic way, excluding otters and including wolverines, martens, and many other mustelids.


Martens, Tayras, Fishers, Wolverine (Guloninae)

A subfamily of the Mustelidae family of mammals found in Eurasia and the Americas is called Guloninae. Martens, Fisher, Tayra, and Wolverine are among its members. Previously, a paraphyletic definition of the mustelid subfamily Mustelinae included these genera. The majority of gulonine species are somewhat arboreal.


Ferret-badger (Helictidinae)

Six species of the genus Melogale, the sole genus of the monotypic mustelid subfamily Helictidinae, are ferret-badgers.


Striped Polecats and Grisons (Ictonychinae)

The Mustelidae mammal family includes the Ictonychinae subfamily, which is primarily found in the Neotropics and Africa with one member in Euraasia. Grissons, Patagonian weasels, Striped Polecats, African Striped Weasels, and Marbled Polecats are among its members.


Mellivorinae (Honey Badgers)

The honey badger (Mellivora capensis), also known as a ratel, belongs to the mustelid genus Mellivora. Additionally, it is the only surviving member of the Mellivorinae subfamily. There are also two extinct species that are known. A large portion of Africa and South Asia are home to the honey badger, and both those regions and Southern Europe are where its fossil relatives were found.


†Oligobuninae


Taxidiinae (American Badgers)

The Mustelidae family of carnivorous mammals, which also includes weasels, otters, ferrets, and wolverines, includes the American badger. The American badger is a member of the Taxidiinae subfamily of mustelid badgers, which also includes the Melinae (four species in two genera, including the European badger), Helictidinae (five species of ferret-badgers), and Mellivorinae (the honey badger). Mephitids, or "stink badgers," are the other two subfamilies of mustelid badgers. The ancient Chamitataxus is the closest relative of the American badger.


Melinae (Badgers)

The Mustelidae family of short-legged omnivores includes badgers. Because of their squat bodies and adaptations for fossorial activity, badgers are a polyphyletic grouping as opposed to a naturally occurring taxonomic one. The caniform suborder of carnivorous mammals includes all of them.


Otters (Lutrinae)

The Otters are carnivorous mammals in the subfamily Lutrinae. The 30 extant otter species are all semiaquatic, aquatic, or marine, with diets based on fish and invertebrates. Lutrinae is a branch of the Mustelidae family, which also includes weasels, badgers, mink, and wolverines, among other animals.


Red Pandas (Ailuridae)

The family Ailuridae belongs to the Carnivora order of mammals. The red panda and its extinct ancestors make up the family. Ailurus was first categorized as a member of the raccoon family by Georges Cuvier in 1825; this designation has since generated debate.


Skunks (Mephitidae)

Mammals in the Mephitidae family include skunks and stink badgers. They are renowned for having anal glands that can spray an unpleasant-smelling liquid. Skunk species can be black-and-white, brown, cream, or ginger in color, but they all have warning coloration.


Raccoons, Coatis, Ringtails, and Olingos (Procyonidae)

A Carnivora family from the New World is the Procyonidae. Raccoons, ringtails, cacomistles, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, and olinguitos are among its members. Procyonids are typically omnivorous and live in a variety of habitats.


†Amphicynodontidae

The family Amphicynodontidae likely includes extinct arctoids. Many pieces of morphological evidence connect amphicynodontines with pinnipeds, despite the fact that some researchers believe this group to be an extinct bear subfamily because they were semi-aquatic otter-like mammals.


†Semantoridae


Pinnipediforms (Pinnipedimorphs)

The last common ancestor of Phoca and Enaliarctos and all of his offspring are included in the clade of arctoid carnivorans known as Pinnipedimorpha. There is no explicit classification for any of these Pinnipediforms in the Monster Hunter games, Assassin's Creed, or Rapunzel's Tangled, so they are not considered official canon classes.


Phocidae (Seals)

One of the three major groups of mammals that make up the seal lineage, Pinnipedia, are the earless seals, phocids, or true seals. True seals are all members of the Phocidae family. To distinguish them from the fur seals and sea lions of the Otariidae family, they are sometimes referred to as crawling seals.


†Desmatophocidae

The Desmatophocidae is an extinct family of pinnipeds closely related to the eared seals and walruses.


Walruses (Odobenidae)

The walrus is the only living member of the pinniped family Odobenidae. However, the group used to be much more varied and included over a dozen fossil genera.


Sea Lions (Otariidae)

An eared seal, otariid, or otary is any member of the marine mammal family Otariidae, one of three groupings of pinnipeds. They comprise 15 extant species in seven genera and are commonly known either as sea lions or fur seals, distinct from true seals and the walrus.


Old World Monkeys (Cercopithecidae)

The Old World monkey is the common English name for a family of primates known taxonomically as the Cercopithecidae. Twenty-four genera and 138 species are recognized, making it the largest primate family. Old World monkey genera include baboons, red colobus and macaques.


Hominidae

The Hominidae, whose members are known as the great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo; Gorilla; Pan; and Homo, of which only modern humans and mythical races remain.
