ALL mammals have umbilical cords.

Yes ...........
In other mammals, the mother animal generally will bite the cord off separating the placenta from the baby. It is usually consumed by the mother which nourishes her, recycles the protein, and reduces tissue that would attract scavengers or predators. However, in the chimpanzees, with whom human beings share the most genetic links, the mother focuses no attention on umbilical severance, instead staying still and nursing and holding her baby (with cord, placenta et al) until the cord dries and separates within a day of birth, at which time she leaves the cord and placenta on the forest floor where it is recycled by scavengers. This was first documented by zoologists in the wild in 1974.

Not all mammals have umbilical cords. Only placental mammals. Marsupials give birth to immature young which then attach to teats for nutrient. Monotreme mammals lay eggs.
Cows and pigs are placental mammals, so they had umbilical cords.

I had twins in April and both they cord fell off precisely one week once they were born. As for tender/more advantageous care even as cleansing it truly is major previously it dries thoroughly.
