All mammals are covered with hair
Most mammals give birth to their young alive
Female mammals produce milk to feed their

Interesting facts to note
Dolphy, why are we
mammals? We look
much more like fish.
It’s because our mothers
produce milk to feed us!
Other types of animals
do not do that.
Do you think a bat
is a mammal too?
