Best Answer

It is a reptile. Among the things that make it different from mammals are: it is cold-blooded and does not nurse its young. However, alligators are known to protect their hatchlings, as do crocodiles.

What is Minnesota's state mammal?

There is no Minnesota state mammal at this time, becaue the State legislature could not pass a bill to select a mammal. There have been seveal attempts over the past twenty or so years. The white-tailed deer has been proposed at least eight times, and the Eastern timber wolf has received support at least six times, as the official Minnesota animal or mammal. Minnesota actually doesn't have a state Mammal. They tried to make the white tailed deer our state mammal and the angry voter as our state mammal but that didn't work so Minnesota officially doesn't have a state mammal.
