Scientists have once again had the experience of making a very strange new discovery and the results of this discovery are no less shocking. While making a film about snake-like amphibian insects, at first he ignored the unusual behavior between the female and her babies, but after looking carefully, he noticed something strange. When he looked carefully, he was shocked to know that he had seen a very strange animal. A great discovery has been made.
New evidence is showing that mammals are not the only animals that give milk. An insect-like amphibian has also shown such behavior. In this new discovery, it has been found that there are creatures without arms and legs like Sicilian frogs and salamanders which secrete a milk-like substance for their children.
A recently published study shows that Sicilians surprise with many qualities. According to this, ringed Sicilians extract milk to feed their children. Not only this, children are also seen requesting the mother to express more milk. This type of behavior is seen only in mammals and has never been seen in amphibians.

The BBC series Life in Cold Blood is believed to be responsible for this discovery. Using an endoscopic camera, the team observed this behavior between a ringed Sicilian mother and her babies. He saw that a child was crying a lot and was trying to bite a white part of his skin with his mouth.
It was from here that the milk of this female amphibian was coming out. Scientists found that this skin is very nutritious and contains protein and fat. Marta Antoniazzi of the Butantan Institute, co-author of the study, said that she and her team were very surprised to see this and initially did not pay attention to this strange behavior.
Gradually, after observing carefully, the researchers discovered that a part of the skin full of nutrition could not provide nutrition to the Sicilian babies for a long time. For this reason, when he looked closely, he found that some children had their heads buried deep in their mother’s skin. When he studied deeply, he found that very nutritious milk comes out from some parts of the skin and children were also seen yearning to drink mother’s milk. This type of behavior is seen only in mammalian animals.
