Do whales produce breast milk?
Yes, as mammals whales nurse their young. It is no surprise that whale milk is much different than what we normally associate as being milk. Being that whales are in an aquatic environment, their milk is suited for where they live. It is much, much thicker than other milk. I have heard it described as being much more like sour cream in thickness and in fat content. This question goes to show how unique mother's milk is no matter what species the mother is and how precisely it is designed for the baby who drinks it.
