mamma: breast, teat] • Any animal of the class Mammalia, characterized by the production of milk by the female mammary glands and the possession of hair for body covering.
a class of animals that have backbones, are warm-blooded, breath air, and whose females have milk-secreting glands for feeding their young. There are 19 orders and over 5,000 species of mammals, ranging from the 2 inch shrew to the 100 foot whale.
Mammals are warm blooded animals with back bones, they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs.
one of a group of highly evolved vertebrates. The females of this group secrete milk which is used to feed their newborn.

any of a class of warm-blooded vetebrates that include humans and all other animals which nourish their young with milk and have the skin more or less covered with hair
animal giving birth to live young and nurturing them on milk
Warm-blooded, usually hairy animals from the Chordate Phylum. This class of animals breathes air, gives live birth, and feeds milk to their young. Human beings are members of the Mammal Class, as well as dogs, cats, deer, mice, squirrels, raccoons, bats, opossums, and others. [Go to source

A warm blooded animal that feeds its young with milk, usually has four legs and hair or fur, eg. monkeys, sheep and cats. Whales, dolphins, seals and bats are mammals too, but have fins, flippers and wings instead of legs. Humans are mammals but have two arms and two legs instead of four legs. All mammals have backbones (vertebrate).
mammal is an animal with a backbone that feeds its young with milk from the mother's body. Mammals are endothermic which means they make most of their body heat themselves by burning their food. They have hair and fat to help retain heat.

Mammals are warm-blooded animals with hair that nourish their young with milk. Primitive mammals evolved during the Triassic period. Whales are mammals.
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 minute 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 some 5,500 species (including humans), distributed in about 1,200 genera, 152 families and up to 46 orders, though this varies with the classification scheme.
