Fauna can refer to the animal life or classification of animals of a certain region, time period, or environment. Fauna is also of Latin origin. In Roman Mythology Fauna was the sister of Faunus, a good spirit of the forest and plains.
Most mammals are viviparous. This means that the offspring are kept inside the female's body and feed through a placenta. The largest mammal lives in the sea. It is the blue whale, which can reach 33,6 metres in length and has a mass of 190 tonnes. The smallest mammal is called the bumble bee bat.
