In zoology, mammalogy is the study of mammals – a class of vertebrates with characteristics such as homeothermic metabolism, fur, four-chambered hearts, and complex nervous systems. Mammalogy has also been known as “mastology,” “theriology,” and “therology.”
Mammalogy branches off into other taxonomically-oriented disciplines such as primatology (study of primates), cetology (study of cetaceans), equinology (or hippology, study of horses), and cynology (study of dogs).
