Is a dolphin a mammle

Answer 1

Yes, a dolphin is a mammal!

Even if the dolphin swims in the ocean, it is in fact a mammal, like whales.

Like other mammals, dolphins give live births (meaning their offspring is not hatched from eggs but alive and functional as soon as it exits the mother's body)

The mother dolphin also feeds its offspring milk, something that only mammals can do.

Finally, dolphins don't have gills like fish and must surface frequently to breathe the air.

Answer 2

Yes, the dolphin is a mammal because the main requirements of a mammal are:

Must be warm blooded, which dolphins are

Must be able to give birth like humans do

Must have fur and/or hair (and yes, dolphins do have hair. When they are first born, dolphins are actually fuzzy and furry)

Must breathe air and oxygen (this is why dolphins and whales have the blowholes and jump out of the water)

and i believe they must have a spine or backbone.

So yes, dolphins are mammals by all means.
