Mammal : any of a class (Mammalia) of warm-blooded higher vertebrates
(as placentals, marsupials, or monotremes) that nourish their young
with milk secreted by mammary glands, have the skin usually more or
less covered with hair, and include humans

"Red meat/white meat" is not a scientific catagory, it's a culinary
term, highly judgemental at best.
