Pacifastacus fortis (known as the Shasta crayfish or placid crayfish) is an endangered crayfish species endemic to Shasta County, California, where it is found and first described in 1914, only in isolated spots along the Pit River and Fall River Mills. [4] It is estimated that there are a total of roughly 4000 of the species still alive today. [5]
Research shows that crayfish do not die immediately when boiled alive, and respond to pain in a similar way to mammals. Then the stress hormone cortisol is released and this leads to the formation of lactic acid in the muscles, which makes the meat taste sour.
Crayfish have peripheral nerve fibres [44] which are responsive to noxious stimuli. [ 42 ] Neurons functionally specialized for nociception have been documented in other invertebrates including the leech Hirudo medicinalis , the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the molluscs Aplysia californica and Cepaea nemoralis .

The monotremes have a sex determination system different from that of most other mammals.

[3] The mammary glands of mammals are specialized to produce milk, a liquid used by newborns as their primary source of nutrition.
