Animal world deals with some of the over 500 species of mammals found in and around India. Mammals are those which suckle their young. The animals can be broadly classified into ones that climb, prey, run, fly, burrow and swim. Quite a few have become extinct, owing to natural upheavals and man's wanton hunting and killing.

With our enhanced consciousness of environment and concern for preservation, we need to cherish the existing species of animals. For they are not only useful in many ways, but make vital links in nature's life-chain.
