Having not had milk for the last year (apart from the odd accident - I know about it as I get all bloated and it's horrible) I'm starting to find it a bit, well weird. Are there any other animals that (in the wild) drink the milk of other animals after they're weaned? We don't actually *need* milk at all - that's a wonderful myth that's been very successfully promoted by the milk companies!
I often wonder how humans first figured out we could drink cow's milk...
