Wow!

A beautiful whale of a tale! Whale mothers nurse their young in the middle of the ocean.

Their milk is unlike any on Earth: almost 50% fat, thick as cream cheese, so it doesn't dissolve in the ocean, and no drop is lost to sea!

Each gulp fuels a calf that can gain up to 100 pounds a day, growing strong enough to survive the wild currents.

That nutrient-dense milk helps the baby gain 100+ pounds a day during early life — it’s one of nature’s most extraordinary nursing adaptations.
