A common mistake in looking for a mammal is to say 'all mammals have fur' but this is not true- whales and dolphins are both mammals because they feed their young on milk and breathe air, but do not have fur of any type.

The best way to look for a mammal is to check they don't have scales or feathers (Birds or reptiles or Fish) Other ways of checking takes time like seeing whether they birth live babies.

Of course though, telling what catergory an animal comes under comes with practice, and should eventually be an easy practice.

Why do some young animals resemble their parents?

No. Although mammals do not go through a complete metamorphosis, as amphibians do, many mammals do not look like their parents at birth. A marsupial at birth is a tiny embryo, not at all like an adult marsupial. Many mammals are born blind and hairless. Probably, the mammals that most resemble their parents at birth are the hoofed mammals.
