Open in App
Solution
Blue whale:
A blue whale's mammary glands are the largest in the world.
The breast of a blue whale is just 5 feet long and as big as a tiny human, but it weighs 250 pounds, the same as a baby elephant.
The inverted breasts on all blue whales only come out when the newborn whale stimulates them.
Milk is thrown at them.
The breasts aren't sucked; instead, the milk is caught as it is discharged by the mother.
