Birds and mammals have the following characteristics in common: they are vertebrates, meaning they have an internal skeletonthey are warm-bloodedthey breathe using lungs, so â¦ have full respiratory systems they have circulatory systems. Most mammals give live birth, but there is a sub-group known as monotremes, which are the egg-laying mammals. 2  This group includes just the platypus and the echidna. 3  They are still mammals because, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk.

This bone is referred to as the dentary, due to the fact that it holds the teeth of the lower jaw.air is one of the characteristics of a mammal that is unique to mammalsâno other animals have true hair and all mammals have hair covering at least part of their body at some time during their life.
