According to this web page from "Norsk Polarinstitutt" (the Norwegian Polar Institute) :
( http:/npweb.npolar.no/english/arter/klappmyss ) the fattest milk known, is from the "klappmyss" - The hooded seal - I bring a cut-and-paste copy of it here :


Life history and reproduction

Hooded seals give birth in a highly synchronous fashion at each birthing site, in late February or early March on free-floating annual pack ice. This species is notable for having the shortest mammalian lactation period. Mothers remain with their pups for only four days. During this time pups drink more than 10 litres of milk per day and more than double their birth mass, gaining weight at a rate of up to seven kg per day. Hooded seals have the fattest milk documented to date among mammals; it can contain up to 70% fat. Pups are weaned at 50-60 kg. Males attend females serially, with successful combatants achieving a degree of polygamy. Females reach sexual maturity at an age of three; males are a little bit older when they mature. Hooded seals live to be 25-30 years of age.
