They’re not warm blooded. Maybe they’re flamingos.
And they produce dairy-free milk, whereas mammal milk is definitely of the dairy variety.
Is human milk a dairy product?
Yes, but it’s pretty difficult to buy.
It’s not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also… Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.
There’s apparently also breastmilk ice-cream!
While “having fur and producing milk” may have been the original description of mammals, biology no longer classifies things that way.
Today, all of the classification is based on Clades, which can be established by doing DNA investigation (similarity matching). So, “mammals” are defined as a clade. And whether somebody falls into it or not depends on their DNA similarity. And coconut clearly do not belong into there.
Neither Coconuts nor Oats have Mammary Exocrine Glands
I heard that in Sheldon Coopers voice.
You can milk any animal that has nipples… but, do coconuts have nipples?!
I rest my case 😎
I have nipples @jarfil@beehaw.org , could you milk me?
Is not about the nips, but the mammary glands.
