[...] Thought D
Although an animal is born with ***a set number of glands and teats***, the total amount of mammary tissue that develops when she is pregnant may vary with the number of fetuses she is carrying, at least in some species (see the resources section on Mammary Development). All of the glands present on a female develop in an equivalent manner while she is pregnant. Once offspring start suckling, the number of glands that remain functional will be determined by the number of offspring suckling, and by how rigid the teat-order (teat preference) is of the species. Non-suckled glands will undergo involution (see the Mammary Development Resources section on Involution).
