So, if you want to starve a chicken, take it into space.. (no gravity, innit)

Speaking of whales, ever wonder how baby whales suckle? Mummy whale doesn't have a nipple, just a patch on their body which releases milk when stimulated. And the milk is lumpy and thick like cottage cheese, so it doesn't disperse in the water.
