Best Answer

Air-breathing, vertebrates, warm blooded, 4 chambered heart, have hair, three middle ear bones, and feed young with breast milk. Most mammals have sweat glands and have a placenta which feeds the offspring during gestation. Except for the five species of monotremes (which lay eggs), all living mammal species give birth to live young.

Is a mammal a girl?

Mammals are boys and girls. Mammals are classified based on certain characteristics they have. Some characteristics mammals have are: 1. They have to have at least some hair on their body. 2. The females have to have nipples that they feed their young milk with. 3. And, other than monotremes (platypus and possums and other animals), they have to give live birth to their young. So therefore, all humans are mammals. Cats, dogs, hamsters, and all other animals you can think of that have all three characteristics, are mammals.
