Can a reptile be a mammal?

Answer 1

Yes, reptiles are NOT mammals. Reptiles are exothermic vertebrates (coldblooded), have no fur, lay eggs and do not lactate. Mammals are endothermic vertebrates (warmblooded), have fur/hair, give birth to live young and lactate.

Answer 2

reptiles and mammals are considered two separate categories of animals.

reptiles differ mainly due to the fact that they are egg laying animals and are cold blooded (exothermic)

mammals however have an umbilical cord supplying food directly to the foetus.

mammals are also warm blooded (endothermic) meaning they can regulate their own body heat regardless of environmental temperatures (unlike cold blooded reptiles)

Answer 3

No, a reptile cannot be a mammal. Mammals are warmblooded and reptiles are coldblooded. Mammals give birth to live young and reptiles lay eggs. Mammals have hair and reptiles have scales on their skin.

Answer 4

No
