General Structure
The mammary glands are consolidated in a small udder in the inguinal region. A mammary groove separates the right and left halves. Each half has the form of a laterally compressed cone and carries a single teat. Two duct systems open on the tip of the teat separately.
Appearance
The skin over the udder is thin and deeply pigmented with sparse hair. The teats are short and resemble a bilaterally compressed cylinder.
