A bat is a mammal and does not lay eggs but gives birth to its young ones. A bat is covered with skin and hair, not feathers. The wings of a bat are actually folds of skin stretched over elongated fingers, homologous to humans/other mammalian limbs.

Like other mammals and unlike birds, bats have fur and teeth, give birth to live young, and feed their young milk. While bats do fly, the structure of their wings is completely different from that of birds. Birds, by contrast, have feathers and and beaks and lay eggs. They also have a unique and complex respiratory system that bats to not have.

A bat is a mammal because it is warm blooded and gives birth to live young, that are not hatched from eggs. It does not have feathers, although it does have wings which enables it to fly.

Because they have a live birth and do not lay eggs. Also they do not have feathers they have fur, and they do not have beaks. Hope this helps!:)

Bats are considered mammals and not birds as they have fur, give birth to live young, and feed them milk.
