Friday 24 January 1.00 pm COURSE FEES R110; Staff and students R55
In this fascinating illustrated lecture participants will find out why mammals have emerged as the most advanced backboned animals, how they have adapted their basic body plan to thrive in changing environments and what it is like to be a platypus, kangaroo, baboon or whale. Participants will also gain an understanding of mammal diversity and evolution worldwide, how they breed, care for their young, feed and defend themselves and the vital ecological roles that they play. Did you know that there are furless mammals and mammals with scales, that dogs are not colour blind, that some mammals are anti-social, and that even egg-laying mammals suckle their young?
