Monotremes, Marsupials and Placental Mammals -
Aubrey was given several areas of inquiry to research and questions to answer about the differences between the three types of mammals. She was asked to identify which part of the mammal brain controls complex behaviors and rudimentary behaviors. We investigated the purpose of the placenta, and the benefits of this strategy of reproduction. In a similar fashion she researched how mammals without a placenta manage to care for their embryos. We watched a video of a kangaroo fetus searching for the pouch and the manner by which it is fed during its development. We also watched video of echidna and other monotremes who lay eggs.
