What are Mammals?
Mammals are a class of vertebrate animals characterized by the presence of mammary glands, hair or fur, and three middle ear bones. They are warm-blooded and breathe air, and most species give birth to live young that are nourished with milk from their mother's mammary glands. Mammals are characterized by having a four-chambered heart, a complex nervous system, and the ability to regulate their body temperature internally, which allows them to live in a wide range of environments. Mammals are found in a wide variety of habitats around the world, including on land, in the air, and in the water. from deserts to rainforests to the ocean. Some common examples of mammals include humans, monkeys, dogs, cats, cows, horses, elephants, whales, and bats, whales, dolphins, and many others.
