    Bears should just enslave some other animals to produce milk for them. Simple.

        They do! Well, at least certain species do. They groom the aphids to harvest a sweet excretion.

        It’s a really neat relationship.

            Well, there’s at least video of ants getting the honeydew, so I guess if one’s kinky enough, it’s porn for ants.

          I mean, it’s not just any excretion. It’s a byproduct of sorts of the aphids digestive system.

          From wikipedia on “Honeydew (secretion)”:

          When their mouthpart penetrates the phloem, the sugary, high-pressure liquid is forced out of the anus of the aphid.
