Found: a Lactating Spider
Jumping spiders suckle their young for longer than mice.

I think it is convergent evolution. Like mantids and mantidflys.Does that mean they are evolving mammal like abilities?
Ack! Venomous cattle!Now I'm waiting for some ruminant to start webbing up a pasture.
This also makes me think of the goats that got spliced with orb weaver DNA so that they produced silk proteins in their milk. The scientists wanted to study the acid chains or something on a macro level or something so that the silk proteins can be collected on a much greater scale and used for strength testing.Ack!

Yeah. That's just as freaky. :wideyed:This also makes me think of the goats that got spliced with orb weaver DNA so that they produced silk proteins in their milk.

I'm going to stay with my gold line, at least until I see a goat equipped with beaners and belaying gear.so that the silk proteins can be collected on a much greater scale and used for strength testing.
