What the hell?

If I remember correctly, they don't have mammalian glands and instead "sweat" thier milk for thier young.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

They have glands but no nipples.

They must have glands. Unless they have milk for blood.

Why... Wh- what? Do you sweat blood?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

... you don't?!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

It’s blood-comma-sweat, not “blood sweat”.

So are they really mammals?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

They’re monotremes.

Definitely. I for one accept our fellow mammal platypuses.
