Yes, mammals are the only animals with hair, or at least, the only ones with the kind of hair that you are thinking of. Mammals have a particular kind of hair, which is made out of a protein called keratin. There are other animals who have other kinds of hair. Insects have their own kind of hairs, which are sensory rather than protective in nature, and they are made of a different protein known as chitin.
