    They’re not warm blooded. Maybe they’re flamingos.

      And they produce dairy-free milk, whereas mammal milk is definitely of the dairy variety.

        Is human milk a dairy product?

          Yes, but it’s pretty difficult to buy.

            It’s not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also… Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

            Also, beware the diseases. Milk can spread virus AFAIK.

    They don’t secrete a filtered blood derived substance through modified sweat glands, thus not milk producing, nearly milk substitute producing.

    Wild thought, vampires that drink milk instead of blood.

    You can milk any animal that has nipples… but, do coconuts have nipples?!

    Mammals aren’t “living organisms with fur and milk”. They’re “the most recent common ancestor of the echidna and the cat, and anything descended from that”.

        The actual definition is “monotremes and placental mammals”. I just picked one of each.

    While “having fur and producing milk” may have been the original description of mammals, biology no longer classifies things that way.

    Today, all of the classification is based on Clades, which can be established by doing DNA investigation (similarity matching). So, “mammals” are defined as a clade. And whether somebody falls into it or not depends on their DNA similarity. And coconut clearly do not belong into there.
