Sampling of dolphin milk. (A) Device used for milk collection. (B) At the beginning of the milk-extraction procedure, the dolphin voluntarily positions herself laterally. (C) Initial aspiration phase with vacuum application to teat (the suction chamber of device begins to fill). (D) Progressive accumulation of milk in the device’s suction chamber is due to the effect of the applied vacuum. Photographs courtesy of Flavio Maggi and Annalisa Duri.
