A female platypus sweats milk.

The platypus does not suckle its young like other mammals do. It does not have nipples, but it exudes milk from specialized sweat glands on its abdomen. Scientists are not sure exactly why milk is sweated out instead of regular water.

*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story ***

My mom and I contracted Dengue fever at the same time.

Since it's a hemorrhaging fever that causes our platelets to drop dangerously low, we both needed blood badly. Unable to give blood himself, my boyfriend drove people from our school to the hospital to donate blood for us.

4 days and 12 donors later, we were both well. His dedication GMH.
