Answer 1

humans
cows
dolphins
dogs
elephants

Answer 2

The mammals are the class of vertebrate animals characterized by the production of milk in females for the nourishment of young, from mammary glands present on most species and specialized skin glands in monotremes that seep or ooze milk; the presence of hair or fur; specialized teeth; three small bones within the ear; the presence of a neocortex region in the brain; and endothermic or "warm-blooded" bodies, and, in most cases, the existence of a placenta in the ontogeny. The brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a four-chambered heart. Mammals encompass near 5,800 species (including humans), distributed in about 1,200 genera, 152 families and up to forty-six orders, though this varies with the classification scheme.The majority of mammals have seven cervical vertebrae (bones in the neck); this includes bats, giraffes, whales, and humans. The few exceptions include the manatee and the two-toed sloth, which have only six cervical vertebrae, and the three-toed sloth with nine cervical vertebrae.

Answer 4

Hairy or furry creatures that can regulate their own body temperatures. They do not have feathers. They do breathe air. Almost all mammals give birth to live young.
Examples, you say? We could be typing all day...
From the aquatic mammals, whales and dolphins.
From the flying mammals, bats (Vampire or fruit eating)
Land mammals: Too many to list....
Primates like Humans, Gorillas, Orangutans...
Cats, Dogs, Gazelles, Cattle, Elephants, rodents....

Answer 5

What Are Mammals

Answer 6

Mammals are those creatures that give birth to young ones that mostly resemble themselves. Like man, cows,dogs etc and blue whale too.
Most mammals live on land --- with the exception of the BWhale which dwells in water.

Answer 7

Cheetahs, Elephants, Giraffes, Leopards, Lions, Orangutans Oryx, Pandas, Puma, Rhinos ,Servals, Tigers, Wolves, Humans. These are examples of mammals

Phylogenetically, Mammalia is defined as all descendants of the most recent common ancestor of monotremes (e.g., echidnas and platypuses) and therian mammals (marsupials and placentals).
Most mammals give birth to live young (vivipary), but a few (the monotremes) lay eggs.Mammals belong to a group of amniotes called the synapsids that have a single hole (temporal fenestra) low on each side of the skull on each side where jaw muscles attach. In comparison, dinosaurs, birds, and most living reptiles are diapsids, with two temporal fenestrae on each side of the skull; and turtles, with no temporal fenestra, are anapsids. The synapsids diverged from the other reptile lineages very early, in the late Carboniferous, and one of the earliest examples is Archaeothyris.
The mammalian heart has four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. Atria are for receiving blood; ventricles are for pumping blood to the lungs and body. The ventricles are larger than the atria and their walls are thick, because muscular walls are needed to forcefully pump the blood from the heart to the body and lungs. Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium, which pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide diffuses out, and oxygen diffuses in.All mammalian brains possess a neocortex which is a brain region that is unique to mammals.

Answer 9

MAMMALS:

1.Mammals are warm blooded; they keep the same body temperature all day.

2.They breathe air.

3.They are covered in fur or hair.

4.They feed milk to their babies; the babies need their parents to survive.

5.They are divided into 3 subclasses. They are as follows.

MARSUPIALS:
Marsupials are mammals whose young are born very immature. Most female marsupials have pouches.

MONOTREMES:
Monotremes are primitive, egg-laying mammals. Spiny anteaters and the duck-billed platypus are monotremes.

PLACENTAL MAMMALS:
Placental mammals are advanced mammals whose unborn young are nourished through a placenta.

Examples:
apes, cats, bats, dogs, tigers, mice, moose, aardvarks, beavers, elephants, gorillas, sloths, pandas, hamsters, horses, whales, and dolphins.

Answer 10

Mammals have hair

Answer 11

Mammals are the warm-blooded vertebrate of the class secreting milk to feed its young. Latin word mammal meaning breast. Mammals give direct birth to young ones. The embryo is developed in the body. e.g. man, cat, bat, rat, dog,
