Can you tell one mammal from the other? witnwisdumb enlightens you on some mammals that you might not come across on the tube

[D]espite my highly restricted awareness of mammalian taxonomy (or any part of taxonomy, for that matter), I was still able to identify most mammals in television documentaries. Clearly, this shows that documentary makers are only interested in a select set of species. (Yes, National Geographic and Discovery are biased as well. Sue them too.) Most documentaries are centred on the rockstars of wildlife: the large carnivores (usually Africa’s big cats), or the bigger species of the ungulates.
