Here on Duolingo, animals eat anything they can eat, especially ducks, elephants and crabs.
Wow, now crabs drink milk!!!! Lets see, cats eating books, a woman being an apple, turtles, elephants, ducks and horses drinking milk, cats and turtles eating bread, turtles eating cheese, crabs and birds eating apples, dogs... I don't think I've heard any odd things about dogs yet, we are turtles, you eat a woman and a boy and I am a bear, a penguin, a man, a woman, a child, a boy and a girl, not to mention the fact that I don't speak English.... Keep it up Doulingo team you are keeping us focused and entertained for sure!!!!
These animals are mutated; a crab drinking milk, a bird eating rice, a turtle eating cheese...
After this, NOTHING will surprise me.
They're not mutated. They just came from the twisted mind of Duolingo.

Shh... Stop reporting the issues. That will only allow him to learn the logic of our languages rather than just the words. Then he will truly be unstoppable.
I've told myself that I'm a penguin enough times that milk-drinking crabs and birds reading the newspaper are 'meh.'
I wonder if it prefers organic or rBGH injected, whole or skimmed...Very upset Duolingo doesn't care to mention that
This is a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's reference and you will not convince me otherwise.
The spanish to english doesn't include "la leche" while the english to spanish question requires the "la"
When you actually speak Spanish fluently, you dont need to specify what milk you are drinking. Its the difference between 'kittens drink milk' and 'kittens drink the milk' you wouldn't say 'the' as a fluent english speaker, so nor would they.
We are in the land where owls are green...and crabs drink milk. Oh yeah!
This lack of logic troubles me . . . troubles me greatly . . . I fear a storm is brewing for humanity, and milk drinking crabs are going to be in the center of it along with cheese eating ninja turtles and spiders who have a taste for baguette . . . these are dark times.
Searching for comments like this makes learning a new language 10x better. I love this site now.
Nice one. I agree with both of you to be honest, haha. Crabs don't really drinks milk but it's fun to practice the same words over and over again and get them completely ingrained in your mind. Use previous words in the current context, even if it's crabs and milk.

Well, after translating this statement for the umpteenth time I was all set to tap out a similar response, but yours makes any further comment superfluous. I doff my sombrero to you, Don Silencio. Muy fantastico.
no. you got it all wrong. the crabs that drink milk are the famed Alaskan king crabs. that's why they are so big and tasty
All these things happen when a person is trying to learn spanish and you know only a select few of animals and verbs in spanish. THANK THIS WEIRD SOCIETY FOR HELPING US LEARN SPANISH!!!!
actually genital crab itches can be soothed with milk. maybe they meant that crabs are drowning in milk:D
İ have been a fisheries engineer of long years, but İ haven't seen a crab like this drinking milk:)
I know we cook crab in coconut milk but I did not know they drink it as we cook them. I guess that's what makes them tastier, huh? Thanks Duo :)

Someone once famously (supposedly) said, "I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people." Maybe if he had (in addition to English), he could've pointed out that the crab drinks milk. Useful stuff, no doubt. ;-)
First it was a spanish speaking penguin and now its crab drinking milk lol I love this site
Glad I've got this phrase to fall back on if I ever hit a language barrier.
So "crab" is "cangrejo" and/or "jaiba" and drink is "bebe" and/or "toma", but I am being corrected when I used a certain combination of the two forms?
on duolingo, every animal drinks milk and eats apples, birds read the newspaper, cats eat books, but dogs still don't eat homework. I guess dogs just never have and never will eat homework... I still don't see how a cat eats a book or a bird reads the newspaper though...
Yeah...if we were over in the French section, I'm sure either the crab or the milk would be red. And maybe using the milk to wash down the baguette. On the plus side, I find myself practicing more every day, just to find the wacko sentences!
Crayfish can drink milk.
But the flamboyant cuttlefish doesnt blend in with anything
