I love this creature! Ever since I read that article, it’s been hard not to bring it up in completely inappropriate conversations!
I’ve got a cloaca, Greg. Can you milk me?
But that’s not a mammal!
The footage revealed that as well as munching on their mother’s skin, S. annulatus young could get their mother to eject a fat- and carbohydrate-rich liquid from her cloaca — the combined rear opening for the reproductive and digestive systems — by making high-pitched clicking noises. The young would also stick their heads into the cloaca to feed.
Between that and the lead image… goodness
That’s enough internet for today
I’m no longer asking for someone to bottle that milk and sell it.
Me neither, when it’s much better straight from the source.
That feels like the Reddit of old - extreme niche memes but proper context in the comments. That’s how you learn nowadays!
What does the “got milk?” phrase come from anyway?
From an advertisement campaign by Big Milk
Ahh ok. Thanks
😆
