Mammals are one type of animal that has many characteristics and characteristics.The shape of the face in each type of mammal has a similar shape. The faces of mammals in theform of frontal images are a challenge in image classification. In this study, the Histogram ofOriented Gradient (HOG) is used as a feature of the facial shape of mammals. HOG is used as astrengthening feature in the classification process using the eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) method. The test was carried out using a dataset of frontal facial imagery ofmammals consisting of 15 species. The results of the tests show that the XGBoost method with theHOG feature is able to provide better classification results for mammals than without the HOGfeature. This is indicated by an increase in the precision value of 0.61; recall of 0.62; and an f1-score of 0.60 on XGBoost with HOG feature which is almost double that of XGBoost withoutHOG feature.
