"Worm-Like Amphibians: Adorable Milk-Leaking Hatchlings"

Researchers have discovered that a species of egg-laying caecilian amphibians produce milk to nurse their young, a behavior previously thought to be exclusive to mammals. The mother caecilians have specialized glands in their oviduct walls that produce a fat and carbohydrate-rich milk, which the hatchlings eagerly consume. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about milk production and parental care in vertebrates, highlighting the diverse strategies that have evolved across different animal groups.
