I love this creature! Ever since I read that article, it's been hard not to bring it up in completely inappropriate conversations!
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 feels like the Reddit of old - extreme niche memes but proper context in the comments. That's how you learn nowadays!
I've got a cloaca, Greg. Can you milk me?
😆
What does the "got milk?" phrase come from anyway?
From an advertisement campaign by Big Milk
Ahh ok. Thanks
