- Structure: They have hair or fur on their bodies, breathe with lungs, and are warm-blooded (endothermic). Mothers produce milk for their young.
💡 Fun Facts
- Hair/Fur: All mammals have hair at some point in their life. For whales and dolphins, it's just a few whiskers when they are born. Hair provides insulation, camouflage, and can be used for sensing (like a cat's whiskers).
- Milk: Mammals are named for their mammary glands, which produce nutritious milk to feed their babies. This gives the young a strong start in life.
- Warm-Blooded: Being "warm-blooded" means mammals can create their own body heat. This allows them to stay active in cold weather and live in almost every climate on Earth.
