Just to add to the mammalian discussion. There is a Manatee in Florida
(named Phoenix) at the Miami Seaquarium that could NOT get pregnant due to a
boating accident. She was paired with a calf that lost its mother.
Before too long Phoenix was producing milk for the calf. This is the
first recorded "spontaneous lactation" case for a manatee.
