Which fish has breast?

Do sharks have nipples?

“You can milk anything with nipples.” But, fish don’t have nipples. Not even the milk shark. But some sharks, like great whites, do have something called uterine milk. Uterine milk (aka Shark Milk) makes it possible for some sharks to feed their unborn babies if they don’t have umbilical cords.

Do cats have nipples?

All cats – male and female – have two rows of nipples that run parallel to one another on the underside of the cat’s abdomen. Depending on the number of nipples the cat has, they may be located fairly close to the pelvis, or they might run all the way from back to front.

What animal doesn’t have nipples?

But one branch of mammals doesn’t suckle: the egg-laying monotremes, which include today’s platypus and echidna, or spiny anteater. These animals lack nipples. Their babies instead lap or slurp milk from patches on their mother’s skin.

Do birds technically get pregnant?

Of the five major groups of animals with backbones, only birds have never evolved pregnancy.

Which animals have nipples?

Do birds have breast milk?

The pigeon is one of only three bird species (the others being flamingos and male emperor penguins) known to produce ‘milk’ to feed their young. In pigeons the milk starts to be produced in the crop of the parent birds two days before eggs hatch.

Do dolphins have nipples?

Cetaceans nurse their young just like land mammals do. Unlike the exposed nipples of humans and our closer kin, the mammary glands of dolphins and porpoises are concealed inside of abdominal slits. The mother squirts the milk into the calf’s mouth to account for the difficulty of underwater suckling.

Do birds pee?

The answer lies in the fact that birds, unlike mammals, don’t produce urine. Instead they excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form of uric acid, which emerges as a white paste. And uric acid doesn’t dissolve in water easily.

Do sharks produce milk?

Sharks lack mammalian characteristics such as hair and lungs, and do not produce milk.

Can you milk a whale?

It would be hazardous to try milking any cetacean in the wild (although scientists have done so with recently deceased specimens). In captivity, though, the animals can be trained to tolerate it. Noren recently conducted a study that required 15 months of regularly milking two killer whale mothers at SeaWorld.

Do sharks have sperm?

All male sharks have claspers, extensions of their pelvic fins used to transfer sperm. Once inserted, the male expels sperm into the female along with seawater, and the eggs are fertilized inside the female’s body. Some sharks are egg-laying, while others are live-bearing.

Can sharks hold sperm?

Along with insects, birds and even some mammals, a few species of sharks have been known to exhibit long-term sperm storage, keeping sperm in specialized glands in the body for a long while after copulation, says study author Luiz Rocha, assistant curator and Follett Chair of Ichthyology at the California Academy of

Do sharks get boners?

The male inserts his clasper into the female’s cloaca — the urinary/reproductive opening — and deposits his sperm, along with some sea water. Do sharks have trouble getting and maintaining an erection? Not at all! “They don’t have to take Viagra,” Burgess says.

Are sharks asexual?

In sharks, asexual reproduction commences via a birth mechanism dubbed ‘automictic parthenogenesis’. It’s a form of self-fertilisation that somehow mimics sexual reproduction.

Can human sperm swim in water?

No — you can’t get pregnant from sperm in a swimming pool. Sperm can live outside the body for a short time under the right conditions, but those conditions aren’t found in water.

Why does a sperm have a tail?

The tail moves with whip-like movements back and forth to propel the sperm towards the egg. The sperm have to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube in order to fertilize a woman’s egg.
