Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mammals. Mammals are a class of vertebrates that contain mammary glands which secrete milk that nourishes their offspring. This maternal behavior is unique from all other vertebrate classes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biparental care is particularly prevalent in mammals and birds. 90% of bird species are monogamous, in which biparental care patterns are predominant. In birds, this parental care system is generally attributed to the ability of male birds to engage in most parental behaviours, with the exception of egg-laying.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. What five characteristics do mammals have in common? Mammals have hair or fur; are warm-blooded; most are born alive; the young are fed milk produced by the mother’s mammary glands; and they have a more complex brain than other animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -’Mammals’ take care of their young ones by giving them milk and nursing them till they are independent. EXPLANATION: Mammals are creatures that give ‘birth to their young ones’ directly. Other than a few, like the blue whale, mammals live on land.

Detailed explanation-5: -The most striking behavioural characteristic of mammals is their learning ability. Compared with other animals, mammals can learn faster, learn more, remember more and show more insight.
