It is not normal to drink platypus milk. Especially since they don't have teats and the milk is secreted into the fur to be sucked out of a special groove by the young.

Is chocolate milk good for you after a work out?

Yes, it can be. It's better to drink normal milk, but most people don't like to drink plain milk and chocolate sauce isn't adding enough crap to make up for the benefits of the milk. My coach has us drink chocolate milk, even if we drink normal mill fine. Just don't drink it DURING training, wait until afterwards.

It can drink normal milk. Um no actually... I consulted a vet on this one and a staffie breeder... normal cows milk can incourage worms, i was told to buy cartons of puppy milk.. they sell them in most super markets i used to get mine from Morrisons. I wouldn't give it goats milk either, just to be on the safe side.


Does a platypus nurse its young?

Yes, but a young platypus feeds differently to either marsupials or placental mammals. The mother has large glands under the skin from which she secretes the milk. The milk ends up on the mother's fur, and it from this that the young platypus feeds. The milk still contains all the nutrients required for the young platypus, as it a couple of months before the baby is ready to hunt for food on the bottom of the river.

Do platypus breastfeed?

Neither the male nor the female really sweats milk. The female produces milk for her young, but all mammals' mammary glands are just modified sweat glands. The difference is that female platypuses exude milk from several glands over their abdomen and since they do not have teats, the young have to drink it from the grooves into which it collects.
