Mammals are the only animals that have fur or hair, and (aside from a few exceptions in the fish community) have live births. The difference that gives mammals their name is the fact that the females have mammary glands. Other differences include the posession of sweat glands, the neocortex portion of the brain, and three auditory ossicles.

Also, they have extended parental care of the young.
