Yes. They are cetaceans and are not considered fish. They are warm-blooded, air breathing (through a blowhole), that give birth to live young that nurse from milk produced by the mother -- all characteristics that categorize them as mammals. And yes, they do have a bit of hair or fur, another thing that classifies them as mammals. Whales typically lose theirs after birth while most dolphins have a bit around their blowholes for life.

Whales are Cold-Blooded Animals True Or False?
Whales are mammals. All mammals are warm blooded. The answer is therefore false.

Why don't killer whales have gills?
All whales are mammals and need to breath air from the surface.
Are porpoises considered mammals?
TRUE
What mammals are fish?
No mammals are fish. Mammals and fish are distinct groups of animals with different characteristics. Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates that have hair or fur, while fish are cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates that have scales and gills for breathing underwater.
Is it true that whales and dolphins are all mammals that evolved in the oceans during the tertiary period?
yes they evolved from the trilobites
Why isn't the whale shark the biggest mammal in the world?

Why is a killer whale endangered animal?
Not at the present.Killer whales are not true whales,but the largest species of dolphin.Killer whales are found in all seas,and at present their numbers seem to be stable,But as with most spectacular mammals,they must be monitered from time to time in case any problems arise.
True or false trilobites are common fossils related to the same group as today's dolphins whales and seals?
False. Trilobites are not related to dolphins, whales, and seals. Trilobites were marine arthropods that lived around 300-500 million years ago, while dolphins, whales, and seals are mammals that evolved much later in the evolutionary timeline.
Which is not a type of whale orca beluga or barracuda?
Trick question: the barracuda is obviously not a whale. What is not so obvious is that orcas, although called killer whales, are also not true whales. Orcas are members of the same family of mammals as porpoises and dolphins.
