All mammals are vertebrates, but not all vertebrates are mammals. 'Vertebrate' means any animal that has a spinal column. 'Mammal' means any animal which gives birth to live offspring (with the sole exceptions of the platypus and echidna, which lay eggs). Examples of vertebrate mammals would be humans, cats, dogs, cows, dolphins, whales, elephants, horses, gorillas, the platypus, and bats (the only mammals capable of free flight), etc.
