Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of mammals?

Hair
Feathers
Sweat glands
Mammary glands

The correct answer is: Feathers

Feathers are indeed a defining characteristic of birds, not mammals. While mammals are generally recognized by features such as hair, sweat glands, and mammary glands, feathers are unique to the avian class of animals. Hair serves various functions like insulation and camouflage in mammals, while sweat glands help regulate body temperature, and mammary glands are vital for nursing their young. In the context of the question, feathers do not align with the typical traits associated with mammals, confirming that this is the correct answer.
