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

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] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

... you don't?!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

They’re monotremes.

Definitely. I for one accept our fellow mammal platypuses.
