No, sharks are not mammals.
Mammals, like polar bears, squirrels, lions, elephants, and dolphins, give birth to live young. They are warm-blooded, and have fur or hair.
Sharks are a type of fish. They use gills to breathe. They also do not have bones like we do, but have a skeleton made of cartilage (the same flexible material at the end of your nose).

Explanation:
Unlike whales, sharks are not mammals but belong to a group of cartilaginous fishes.
Sharks are a special type of fish known because their body is made out of cartilage instead of bones like other fish. The classification of this type of fish is "elasmobranch." This category also includes rays, sawfish, and skates.
