Why is a kangaroo classified as a mammal?

Answer 1

They are warm-flooded vertebrate animals that nurse their the young with milk. They have hair or fur like other mammal and the young are born live (only monotreme mammals like the platypus lay eggs).

Answer 2

A mammal is anything that lives on land

So, not all animals are mammals

For example: a whale isnt a mammal because it lives in the water.

However, an elephant/cow/pig would be a mammal

Answer 3

Kangaroos are mammals because they meet the criteria of a mammal.

• A kangaroo is a warm-blooded vertebrate
• It breathes using lungs
• It has a covering of skin and hair
• The kangaroo gives birth to live young which are fed on mothers' milk.

  All warm-blooded animals that feed their young milk from mammary glands (breasts or teats) are included in the animal classification "Mammalia". The kangaroo has mammary glands concealed inside the pouch used to carry the young.

Answer 4

Because it has fur, and because it gives birth to live young.

Answer 5

because it eats other animals
