Yes, dolphins are mammals. Just like us. They do not have gills like fish, and have to come to the surface to breathe. They have live babies. They have fuzz on the top of their beak when they are babies, but it comes off as they grow.

Yes. Because a dolphin is a dolphin no matter what happens.
Yes, all dolphins are mammals because they meet the five requirements of mammals:

# All mammals have a backbone (vertebrates)

Dolphins have a backbone

# All mammals have hair at one point in their life

Dolphins have a mustache when they are born

# All mammals breathe air

Dolphins must surface periodically to breathe

# All mammals produce milk to feed their young

A female dolphin's mammary glands are located on either side of the genital slit

# All mammals are warm blooded

Dolphins generate their own heat This is a general fact - no one ever really "found this out."
