The footage revealed that as well as munching on their mother’s skin, S. annulatus young could get their mother to eject a fat- and carbohydrate-rich liquid from her cloaca — the combined rear opening for the reproductive and digestive systems — by making high-pitched clicking noises. The young would also stick their heads into the cloaca to feed.
Between that and the lead image… goodness

That feels like the Reddit of old - extreme niche memes but proper context in the comments. That’s how you learn nowadays!

I’ve got a cloaca, Greg. Can you milk me?

What does the “got milk?” phrase come from anyway?

I love this creature! Ever since I read that article, it’s been hard not to bring it up in completely inappropriate conversations!
