Nixon and Brezhnev were mammals, you know....

…and if you didn’t, Wikipedia would be the first to tell you: Mammal - Wikipedia

Well . . . they had to show somebody~~~

That is incorrect. Nixon was a reptile, Brezhnev was a dinosaur.

I think it would similarly appropriate for Leonid and Tricky Dicky to illustrate the article on the Ape.

No, taxonomically speaking they are synapsids, not sauropsids, in spite of the superficial resemblance.

Dan Fielding was also a mammal.

Seems like it would have been more appropriate to include Dolly Parton.

“I’m not a reptile. I’ve earned everything I’ve got.”

Squee! Pangolin. Cute little mammal-reptile. I’d totally get one if they weren’t super illegal. It’s in plus sign with the eats-babies-leaders, along with screaming-death-opossum, scary-ass-elephant seal, and creepy-golden-mole-thingy.

Nous sont tout de mammafere

…that’s why they did it like they did on the Discovery Channel.

Heh, now that’s not an obscure line from an ancient sitcom that nobody remembers. :slight_smile:

So what if I use it whenever I can when I’m having trouble thinking of something nice to say about someone.

“So, Bob… you’re… uh… you’re certainly looking very bipedal this morning!”

I compliment women on their mammalian features all the time.

It could be true, but I’m going to need a better cite than Wikipedia before I believe it.

And when they slap you, I daresay your skin displays a blush response.

…and the taxon has been trying to live it down ever since.

Now that’s a disturbing mental picture…

And the elephant shrew is dead last. Typical.

You Macroscelids are always complaining. At least you’re not a Xenarthran! :stuck_out_tongue:

My friends in the Repto-American and the Saurian-American communities tell me there is no way we Mammals are going to foist Nixon and Brezhnev on them, however accurate it may be metaphorically.
