Just for fun?

        In cleaning up my desk I found this little note. It was printed in a
Quebec magazine (L'ACTUALITE) in 1994 but I did not see it in the North
American english media. Perhaps someone who can translate better than I will
give a full translation but in summary a team of researchers found a colony
of bats where the males breastfed. '13 males produced milk to nourish the
babies but only one of 5 females'. I apologize for the lack of accents as I
am using an english keyboard.
" Une equipe de chercheurs canadiens et americains a decouvert en Malaisie
une colonie de 18 chauves-souris frugivores.  Fait rarissime, ce sont les 13
males qui produisent le lait pour nourrir les petits, alors qu'une seule des
cinq femelles en produit.  Les chercheurs se posent la question, ecrit le
TIMES de Londres: s'agit-il de "chauvres-souris roses" qui restent a la
maison pendant que les femelles vont a la recherche de nourriture?
L'Actualite/1er Juin 1994. p80.
        There is no journal reference.  Is this the answer to those Dads in
prenatal classes who ask if men can breastfeed?
