Keeping this in view, do all primates have belly buttons?
Yes, although not all mammals do no have belly buttons. For example, monotremes (egg-laying mammals) such as the platypus or echidna do not. Primates, however, are members of the placental mammals, those that are born in the womb and thus posses an umbilical cord and the corresponding belly button.
how big is a whale's belly button? A blue whale's testicle contains seven gallons of sperm, and weighs 22lb. In human terms, this would be pretty pathetic – like a broad bean. And a blue whale's throat is the same diameter as its belly button (about the size of a side plate).
Similarly one may ask, does any animal have a belly button?
A: You will not find belly buttons on animals like birds and reptiles, but you will find them on most, but not all, mammals. Only placental mammals will have belly buttons. Marsupials, such as kangaroos, koalas and opossums, give birth to relatively underdeveloped young.
Are all veins connected to the navel?
Internally the veins and arteries in the cord close up and form ligaments, which are tough connective tissues. These ligaments divide up the liver into sections and remain attached to the inside of the belly button.
