    They’re not warm blooded. Maybe they’re flamingos.

      depends on the climate. natural habitat: yes. grocery store: no.

        By definition, “warm blooded” means “produce their own heat” (obviously drastically simplified). I don’t think it matters whether the coconut is on a deserted island or on the shelf at Woollies, it’s still not warm blooded.

          What if it’s on fire, using it’s own energy to produce the heat?

      And they produce dairy-free milk, whereas mammal milk is definitely of the dairy variety.

        Is human milk a dairy product?

          Human milk certainly contains Lactose and Whey Protein.

              I just gave you a pretty succinct definition of Dairy. Yes.

                Google shows conflicting answers and the Wikipedia page doesn’t list human milk.

                  Well if you go by FDA’s Title 21 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 131 Subpart B then not only is human milk not a dairy product but the only animal who produces milk is a cow, however in 2018 they requested submissions weighing in on whether plant products should continue to use “dairy group” words such as milk and yogurt on their labeling, so I think there is probably some leeway on this.

          Yes, but it’s pretty difficult to buy.

            It’s not actually especially difficult. People who produce more than their kid needs will sell or give away the extra to people who are struggling to produce enough. Also… Some hardcore body builders buy it as well.

    Mammals aren’t “living organisms with fur and milk”. They’re “the most recent common ancestor of the echidna and the cat, and anything descended from that”.

        The actual definition is “monotremes and placental mammals”. I just picked one of each.

      You can milk a cat, that checks out.

    While “having fur and producing milk” may have been the original description of mammals, biology no longer classifies things that way.

    Today, all of the classification is based on Clades, which can be established by doing DNA investigation (similarity matching). So, “mammals” are defined as a clade. And whether somebody falls into it or not depends on their DNA similarity. And coconut clearly do not belong into there.

    They don’t secrete a filtered blood derived substance through modified sweat glands, thus not milk producing, nearly milk substitute producing.

    Wild thought, vampires that drink milk instead of blood.
