Do all animals have bellybuttons?

Question

I was looking at my pet rabbit lying around on its side...full of fur. Then the question came to mind. Do all animals have bellybuttons? I mean, humans have them...do animals like dogs, cats, rabbits have them? They all had an umbilical cord in their mothers womb...so I was assuming so. Is it that they are so full of fur that we can't see it?

So, it's not possible to see a bellybutton on your dog?

Answer 1

Sounds logical.
Any of our fellow animal brethren who are born via a life support system in the form of umbilical is bound to also have a separation point of some form or another.

Answer 2

simply, no, mammals will, but animals covers creatures that are laid for instance and there fore take their nutrients from the matter in the egg withh them not an umbilical cord

Answer 3

Yet, all has been said, just wanted to add (or re-word, rather) that animals that come out of an egg don't have a belly button...

Answer 4

If they're placental mammals, they do (although not pronounced like ours). Only a few mammals aren't placental, like platypus and echidnas, those guys lay eggs. The rest of the animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, etc.) take their nourishment from the egg yolk, and they have something like an umbilical cord to draw nourishment from the yolk.

Answer 5

No, only mammals will have them. Your rabbit is a mammal, so yes it should have a belly button.
