'''Breasts''' generally refers to the upper ventral region of a [[female]] [[primate]]'s (e.g. a [[human]]) torso. Its outer appearance/form include the skinned breast, [[W:Areola|areola]], and [[W:Nipple|nipple]].<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
<br />
The breasts of a female primate’s body contain the [[W:Mammary gland|mammary glands]], which secrete [[W:Milk|milk]] used to feed their young via the nipple, [[W:Breastfeeding|their primary function]].<br />
<br />
== Breasts and furry ==<br />
<br />
Also known as [[W:Teat|teats]] and [[W:Udder|mammaries]] ('''udders''' on [[bovine]]s), due to the [[animal]] aspect of [[furry]] [[character]]s, breasts appear in all manners of shape and sizes and number in their depiction on the [[fandom]]. Sometimes, breasts are only full during pregnancy and childcare, while others have full breasts at all times. <br />
<br />
Normally shown with a [[humanoid]] form of breasts, most [[anthropomorphic]] female furs have only one pair, while others make the choice to have more animalistic breasts, which involve multiple pairs of teats along the [[W:milk line|milk line]], usually numbering from 4 pair to 8 pairs.{{fact}} <br />
<br />
The presence of augmented female breasts on [[transgender]] furries may follow the same pattern associated with their real human counterparts (i.e. [[W:Hormone replacement therapy (transgender)|hormone replacement therapy]] or [[W:Breast augmentation|breast implants]]), or use some unorthodox methods devised by the [[furry artist]] or [[writer]] ([[W:Magic|magic]], [[W:Mad scientist|experimentation/potions]], [[Voraphilia#Uncommon|biological]] ["absorption"].)<ref>[http://tsa.transform.to/tg/ ''The Other Sex''] section on the [[Transformation Story Archive]]. Retrieved March 5, 2014.</ref> [[Hermaphrodite]]s' breasts are normally influenced by [[W:Chromosome|chromosomal]] disfunction, but it's not a [[W:Canon (basic principle)|canon issue]] followed by most fandom creators.{{cn}}<br />
<br />
=== Multibreasts ===<br />
<br />
Furs with multiple breasts/teats usually may have a paired sequence of them, similar in size, or one pair of breasts (the upper most pair) larger than the others. On this last case, they decrease in size further down the milk line. <br />
<br />
Multibreast characters are also common in the Japanese/Eastern school of furry art ([[kemono]].) Many "ushiko" ([[cow]]-girl) characters drawn by these artists have multiple breasts, multiple nipples, and sometimes, other unusual (and often technically incorrect) attributes.{{clarify}}<br />
<br />
=== Sexuality ===<br />
<br />
Multibreast as a [[paraphilia]] is frequently associated with [[W:Erotic lactation|lactophilia]], for fairly obvious reasons.{{clarify}}<br />
<br />
'''[[Template:Did you know|Did you know]]?''': In [[real life]], human females are the only mammals (including all other primates), where as their breasts remain fully shaped almost all their lives, even after pregnancy and/or nursing?.<br />
