In mammals that live in the water the nippels are normally protected with a skin flap. The infant needs to push this flap aside in order to drink the milk from its mother. The flap closes to be water tight, to protect the nipples.
For species that live in both the water and on land, it can be different. Sealions for example have retractable nipples. Just something to think about I guess.
That's super cool
I believe I also have retractable nipples
Can you milk me, Greg?
I'll take "Things I never thought I'd read" for $500 please Alex.
Now i wanna see whale calf drinking milk.
I wanna try milking an elephant
I watched a documentary that said the milk is as thick as yogurt! Both gross and so cool
