...and the nipple never comes out like how a human nipple can get erect? Forgive my lack of biology, I am an engineering major.

Correct. The mother squirts the milk into their calf's mouth, it isn't sucked out.

Thanks for the knowledge! Glad it isn't some nature metal shit happening there lol. However, I do remember that whale milk is squirted out too (and my god I remember reading that the consistency is... unique). Is the whale nipple inverted too?

A dolphin is a kind of whale, so yup! All cetacean nipples are.

EDIT: There's a great band name, Cetacean Nipples!
