Theria: Characters, Characteristics & Evolution

Theria (/ˈθɪəriə/ or /ˈθɛriə/; from Ancient Greek θηρίον, thēríon 'wild beast') is a subclass of mammals amongst the Theriiformes. Theria contains the eutherians (which includes placental mammals) and the metatherians (which includes marsupials) but excludes the egg-laying monotremes and various extinct mammals evolving prior to the common ancestor of…
