Males of many different mammalian species have the potential to lactate, and in northern China’s Hebei Province, a ram recently became a local celebrity for his ability to produce milk. /Chinanews Photo

Zhao Yanning, owner of the sheep, bought the ram four years ago to mate the female sheep he raises, never expecting the ram to be able to produce milk. /Chinanews Photo

What’s more, the ram’s “son” has started to show the same ability. /Chinanews Photo
