Mammals have fur (which
is made up of hair).
Whiskers, wool, prickles
and spines are also found on mammals and are also made from hair.
Fur traps air between the
hairs and keeps out the cold, heat, wind, and rain, which keeps the mammal's
body warm from the cold surroundings.
Whales are the only mammal
which do not have hair.
