minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days agoInverted nipples, not suitable for milking.
minus-squarebitfucker@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days ago…and the nipple never comes out like how a human nipple can get erect? Forgive my lack of biology, I am an engineering major.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days agoCorrect. The mother squirts the milk into their calf’s mouth, it isn’t sucked out.
minus-squarebitfucker@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days agoThanks for the knowledge! Glad it isn’t some nature metal shit happening there lol. However, I do remember that whale milk is squirted out too (and my god I remember reading that the consistency is… unique). Is the whale nipple inverted too?
