Monotremes are a very distinctive ancient group of mammals with only a handful of extant species in Australia and New Guinea and marsupials, with roots in South America, likely reached Australia via Antarctica some 50 million years ago. With relatives remaining in America, Marsupials have adapted to an amazing diversity of lifestyles and habitats. Volume 5 of HMW provides complete coverage of these two important groups of mammals. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs showing different behaviors of all of them, the text contains the latest up-to-date information on all families of Monotremes and Marsupials, both Australasian and American.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":63224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[20,19],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-286","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-hmw","7":"product_cat-mammals","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/286"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=286"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
