    Wait… So can you milk a dolphin?

      No, but they do produce milk.

        Wasn’t there some marine scientist that got in trouble for milking dolphins?

          Yeah, NASA paid to fund research to communicate with dolphins, and it led to jerking off one of the adolescents so he’d be able to concentrate on the lessons better. Also there was LSD in there for a bit. When the project lost funding the dolphin was moved to an inadequate facility so he got depressed and offed himself.

          The 60s was a hell of a time for sciencing stuff.

          Inverted nipples, not suitable for milking.

            …and the nipple never comes out like how a human nipple can get erect? Forgive my lack of biology, I am an engineering major.

              Correct. The mother squirts the milk into their calf’s mouth, it isn’t sucked out.

                Thanks for the knowledge! Glad it isn’t some nature metal shit happening there lol. However, I do remember that whale milk is squirted out too (and my god I remember reading that the consistency is… unique). Is the whale nipple inverted too?

                  A dolphin is a kind of whale, so yup! All cetacean nipples are.

                  EDIT: There’s a great band name, Cetacean Nipples!

            Sounds like an engineering problem Edit: didn’t see you’re reply yet where you discuss this with an engineer. Carry on

              This is a “they didn’t stop to think if they should” situation.

      If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything.
