Animal breastfeeding, also known as lactation, is the process by which mammalian mothers nourish their offspring with milk produced by mammary glands. This milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies, essential for the growth and immune protection of the young. The duration and frequency of breastfeeding vary widely among species. For instance, whale calves may nurse for up to two years, while some rodents wean their young in just a few weeks. Breastfeeding strengthens the bond between mother and offspring and plays a critical role in the early development and survival of mammalian infants.
