The Class Mammalia includes animals that possess specific features like mammary glands and hair, which covers orders like Primata (gorilla, gibbon) and Carnivora (tiger). A frog, however, belongs to the Class Amphibia, not Mammalia, because it has completely different anatomical and physiological adaptations, such as permeable skin and a different life cycle.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology
The Class Mammalia is a major taxonomic grouping that includes multiple related orders. Specifically, it includes the order Primata (comprising monkeys, gorillas, and gibbons) and the order Carnivora (comprising animals like tigers, cats, and dogs). These diverse orders are grouped together in Mammalia because they all share key class-level traits like mammary glands.
