Do All Mammals Have Hair?
Answer – Yes, all mammals do have hair, though some have a considerably limited amount.
Explanation:
One of the features of mammals is the presence of hair on the body. No other category of organisms has hair. It grows out of the skin and has a root, known as a follicle, present just underneath the skin.
While all mammals have hair, the degree in which it is present on different mammals is vastly different. Some mammals have thick hair all over their body such as lions and horses, while in others its presence is sparser and is restricted to a few areas, such as elephants and dolphins.
