Correct. The mother squirts the milk into their calf's mouth, it isn't sucked out.

Thanks 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?

A dolphin is a kind of whale, so yup! All cetacean nipples are.

EDIT: There's a great band name, Cetacean Nipples!
