Not only humans have umbilical cord, all the mammals of the Eutheria infraclass have it, this are the placental mammals and are all the animals that give birth to a live animal but not including the marsupials such as the kangaroo, for example the human, the dog, the cow all have umbilical cord

No not all animals have umbilical cords because not all animals have bellybuttons. For example, any animal that was born from an egg doesn't have a belly button so it didn't have a umbilical cord.
