Milk

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

Milk-Producing Species
Whether or not an animal is a mammal is based on whether the females produce milk. As such, the Hitchemus Tigers are technically classified as reptiles, despite looking like the tigers of Earth. (EDA: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) Despite this, other, less mammalian-looking species do produce milk. Malmooth can drink their own internal milk, (DW: Utopia) while the green milk produced by Skarasens is fed on by the Zygons. (TDA: Sting of the Zygons, EDA: The Bodysnatchers)

The only known cure of 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. (DW: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

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