A151 Mammal Orders
This is a truly beautiful poster that s cherished by animal lovers, but
it's also an extremely useful educational tool, as it provides a
comprehensive overview of the subject. It is divided into three
sections, one for each type of mammal: the egg-laying monotremes,
the pouched marsupials and the familiar placental mammals. The
latter is divided into 10 sub-sections, one for of the orders.
Superb, highly detailed illustrations show 98 representative animals
including everything from the aardvark to the zebra.
This poster is an excellent way to introduce young children to a
great many animals. However it outstand organization and
presentation make it an invaluable reference chart of teachers,
students and professional involved or interested in zoology,
comparative anatomy and taxonomy, the naming and classification of
life forms. |

Vertebrate Orders |
This is one of the four posters in our
vertebrate orders set. They provides a comprehensive
overview of the living vertebrates. Animal life is now
undergoing the transition from the Linnaeus classification
system to the new cladistic classification system. Birds
have been reclassified under the new system. There have been
many systems proposed for the other animals, but none has
been widely accepted. This required that the posters present
the animals in the context of their existing Linnaeus
orders. Each of these posters present all of the orders
within the group. There are so many marsupials and
cartilaginous fish that they are presented as super orders.
Each order is introduced by the common name or names (such as
whales, dolphins and porpoises), followed by the biological
name (Cetacea), the number of species, and a brief
description. A great many representational animals are
beautifully shown, all identified by both common and
biological names.
This is the first time that a comprehensive overview of this enormous and
complex subject has ever been presented on posters. This set
is invaluable for life science classes and anywhere else
that the study of animals takes place.
