Seal Milk Is the Cream of the Molecular Crop
NeutralScience

- The Atlantic grey seal's milk has been found to be significantly more chemically complex than that of other mammals, including humans. This complexity is essential as the seal nurses its young for only 17 days, necessitating a nutrient-rich milk to prepare the pups for survival in their marine environment.
- This discovery highlights the unique adaptations of the Atlantic grey seal, emphasizing the importance of its milk in the early development of seal pups. Understanding these biochemical properties may provide insights into mammalian lactation and nutritional strategies in extreme environments.
