Omg homework help....1st grade!!!!!

i am helping my 1st grade daughter with her homework. it is really kinda hard!!!!!!!!
she has this sheet with a list of animals on it...and she has to write if it is a mammal or not. it is very confusing...i have NO idea how to explain it to her. she said they did not talk about it in class

the list is:

frog
dolphin
snake
butterfly
pig
duck
kangaroo
ant
bat
giraffe
sheep
goldfish
lion



how do you explain this to a 6 year old? I was taught that if they give birth the way humans do, they are mammals. surely that is not how they are teaching 1st graders, right??????

i didn't know a bat was a mammal.

what are the different classes of animals? mammal, fish, reptile, insect, bird, amphibian...are there others?? and are these even right??

gosh...i need to go back to school
