2024 is officially the year we found an amphibian that makes milk for its young, in a 'convergent evolution' from mammals.

Weird, man

@jake4480 wow that's a strange one! But I guess convergent evolution makes sense when exposed to similar problems.

@ektotherm right?? And they're talking whether it's milk or not but I mean it has the sugar etc. Wild

@jake4480 yeah. But I guess biologists are used to their categories being squishy. Bats fly, platypuses lay eggs, etc.

@ektotherm Oh wow yeah that's true! Weird species outliers
