Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrate animals that nurse their young. Almost all of them bear live young. Marsupials give birth sooner and rear their young in a pouch. Monotremes, which are the playypus and echidna, lay eggs and incubate them, but suckle the young when they hatch.

For the most part, mammals are identified by their ability to grow hair, by being warm blooded, for being able to do live birth (instead of laying eggs like birds and reptiles), and the females have mammary glands to nurse their babies. One small group of mammals called monotremes does lay eggs, incubates them, and nurses the young when they hatch. These are the echidna and the platypus.

The first thing is its size. Mammals are usually quite large. Warm-blooded , hair, three middle ear bones, and specialised teeth. To know straight away if it is a mammal, you need to memorise who is who on a trusted webpage or a fact-filled book.

Every mammal has hair. Even a dolphin which is a mammal also. The elephant is a mammal because it isn't born in an egg and has hair.

All bears are mammals. They have hair or fur, females give milk to their cubs and give birth to live young, and are warm-blooded or able to maintain their own internal temperature.

How can you tell what a mammal looks like?

By looking at it. It's not what something looks like that makes it a mammal (though most of them have hair somewhere on their bodies, this can be hard to notice/find, as with elephants and dolphins), it's that it produces milk for its young.
