Why do people think that a dolphin is classified as a fish and why a platypus isn't a reptile or a bird?

Both the dolphin and platypus are mammals for one very simple reason: they both suckle their young on mothers' milk. this is one of the defining charactersitics of mammals.because dolphins spend all their time in the water, it is difficult to conceive that it is a mammal, and that it could suckle its young on mothers' milk.
