still used to refer to the remaining members, which have been classified
into three orders: Soricimorpha, Erinaceomorpha, and Chrysochloridea.
Together these three orders are called grand order Lipotyphla by
mammalogists, its members being referred to as either lipotyphlans or
insectivores.

birth and continued development of the newborn while attached to the nipples on
the mother’s lower belly. Include species such as red kangaroo (Macropus rufus),

living mammals except marsupials and monotremes.
