Are humans the only animals that drink milk into adulthood?

Answer 1

Yes.

I should add, however, that about 30% of humans of European ancestry, 70% of humans of African ancestry, and 90% of humans of Asian ancestry become lactose-intolerant in adulthood. The prevalence of milk-drinking is not as widespread as many people think.

Milk products in which the lactose has already been digested (such as yogurt) are more popular.

Answer 2

Humans don't usually drink human milk beyond infancy. After that we usually drink the milk of cows or goats. Cats, too, love to drink cow-milk in adulthood. Cats on non-mechanized dairy farms come a-running at milking time. The person doing the milking can often squirt milk straight from the cow's teat into the cat's open mouth.

Answer 3

Yes, but not the majority of human adults. Many people can not tolerate milk when an adult. In Africa, adults seldom drink milk.

Answer 4

Many people including you, consider this as a bad thing.

Consider this: Humans are the only ones who will drink the milk and then kill it, cook it and eat it too !
