Did You Know !! ?? Whale Milk Not On Low-Fat Diets
Nursing a newborn is no "small" feat for the
whale, whose calf emerges, after 10 to 12 months in the womb, about a
third the mother's length (that's a 30-foot baby for the Blue whale).
The mother squirts milk into the newborn's mouth using muscles around
the mammary gland while the baby holds tight to a nipple (yes, whales
have them). At nearly 50 percent fat, whale milk has around 10 times the
fat content of human milk, which helps calves achieve some serious
growth spurts — as much as 200 pounds per day.
