minus-square@samus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoCorrect. The mother squirts the milk into their calf’s mouth, it isn’t sucked out.
minus-square@bitfucker@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoThanks for the knowledge! Glad it isn’t some nature metal shit happening there lol.
