The body covering of mammals is skin, fur or hair. This is one of the defining characteristics of mammals.

Note: There is no chemical difference between fur and hair, as both are made up of keratin. The difference is in man's perception of each. Animals which are regarded as having "hair" simply have a different type of "fur", and vice versa.
