    Yay! It definitely has an intriguing common name, especially since I don't think frogs have udders. Posted 3 years ago

        Well, that's adorable <3.
        
        Here's what Wikipedia told me: "The "milk" in the common name comes from the milky fluid these frogs excrete when stressed." So, my assumption is confirmed -- frogs do not have mammary glands. Posted 3 years ago
