Milk

Milk is a substance secreted by mammals to feed their young.

Milk-Producing Species
Whether the female of a species exudes milk from its nipples or from simple ducts to nurture its young is one of the defining traits of mammals. (EDA: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) Similar nourishing substances are, however, produced by non-mammalian species. Malmooth can drink their own internal milk, (DW: Utopia) while the green milk produced by Skarasens is fed on by the Zygons. (NSA: Sting of the Zygons, EDA: The Bodysnatchers)

The only known cure for Spectrox toxaemia is the milk from a Queen Spectrox Bat. (DW: The Caves of Androzani)



Milk as a Beverage
Milk is also used by other species as a drink. The Humans of Earth harvested and drank the milk of cows.

Milk is often used in tea and coffee to add taste. (NA: Theatre of War) Milk can be sold in cartons or glass bottles, and can be delivered by milkmen. (DW: The Stolen Earth) Milk is sometimes consumed while warm as a sleep aid. (DW: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

In some places, milk is sold in a Milk Market. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
