Adult female elephants have two breasts, or mammary glands, located between their front legs. When a female becomes pregnant or is nursing her young, her mammary glands become more prominent.

        Y’know, I was okay when it was just the elephant, like, of course, she’s an elephant.

        But the goddamn Pangolin having better tits than me? That’s a line too far.

          Be glad with the tits you have, there are sad trans who would be glad to have your tits.

          Also the pangolin is being made extinct because Chinese women want help lactating, I guess because they saw pangolin titties and thought that consuming the scales of a big tittied animal would help for some reason.

            I am the sad trans who wants the pangolins tits!

            Though not at the cost of their entire species. We’ll see where hormones can get me.

              There should be a trans donor list where MtF and FtM can swap parts. I don’t know how medically possible that is, but medicine never got anywhere not trying stuff.

                Anti-rejection drugs are a hell of a drug

                  It honestly would probably take anti-rejection drugs and stem cell impregnated strategically scaffolded tissue from a highly compatible donor with a cocktail of other drugs. The process would be horrendously expensive with a high rate of complications, but the plus side would be endogenous hormone production and natural function should it be a complete success.

                  Some sort of crazy unpleasant gene therapy derrived from a parent or sibling over years would probably be more viable sooner, but time will tell on that.

      In mammals that live in the water the nippels are normally protected with a skin flap. The infant needs to push this flap aside in order to drink the milk from its mother. The flap closes to be water tight, to protect the nipples.

      For species that live in both the water and on land, it can be different. Sealions for example have retractable nipples. Just something to think about I guess.

    So yeah, all mammals have breasts. Mammal comes from mammary. Is this not taught in schools anymore?

    This was like primary school science for me when growing up - like 8-9 years old - and repeated on biology throughout highschool.

    Or is it interesting because generally people don’t post pictures of elephant breasts?

      Not all mammals have visible / human like breasts. That’s what this is about.

      I suppose it’s interesting because we assume that most mammals have their mamary glands further down, like dogs or cats, not on the torso like humans do.

        Don’t most start at the torso? Cats and dogs have large litters, so 8(?) nipples starting at the ribs going down.

          I think a lot of people base their assumptions on the way cows, goats, sheep and deer have their mammaries positioned between the waist and the rear legs.

          (Waist? Seems wrong but midline is also confusing.)

          Those also have hooves, and elephants don’t, but it’s the animals we’re used to seeing nurse.

          Maybe you’re right and it’s just a commonly accepted misconception
