      6 nips, a gestation of over a year, and more than twins is rare.

      That just raises further questions. How long do wookie babies nurse for? Are the number of nipples a relic of their evolution, where in the past they had litters of wooklets? Are certain nipples more sensitive? Which one or set is the one that typically gets pierced?

        Yeah, a whole 45 seconds worth of reading is required to reach the relevant info:

        While female Wookiees have six nipples, mutiple births of more than two children are quite rare.

      You’d think the original source of Wookie lore (the Star Wars Holiday Special) would mention stuff like this.

      I wonder where this information came from. The Fandom wiki suggests The Official Star Wars Fact File 12, but I can’t find any readable copies of that online.
