Mammals have skin with hair or fur, while birds have feathers, reptiles have scaly skin, amphibians have moist skin and fish have scales.
Mammals are warmblooded and have a four chambered heart. The only exception are the birds, who are also warm blooded and have four chambered hearts.
Mammals have three middle ear bones, and a neocortex in the brain. They also have specialised teeth, grinding plates or other features to enable them to crush their food.
Mammals do not lay eggs, unless they are monotremes, i.e. egg-laying mammals, which includes just the platypus and the echidna.
However, the defining characteristic that makes mammals different from other vertebrates is that they lactate, meaning they feed their young on mothers' milk. They have sweat glands, including glands used for milk production. No other member of the animal kingdom has or does this, yet all mammals do, whether they are placentals, marsupials or monotremes.
