Mammal
Warm-blooded animals with backbones that feed their babies milk and have hair or fur.
What is a mammal?
Most mammals give birth to live young, and the babies drink their mother's milk for a while.
Mammals breathe air with lungs. Even whales and dolphins, which live in the sea, must come to the surface to breathe. Humans are mammals too.
