Male kangaroos has 3 penises

They don’t. But I was reading Adam Kay’s “Kay’s Anatomy” with my 8 year old son and we got onto reproduction and female kangaroos have 3 vaginas. My son asked, “so do male kangaroos have 3 penises?”. They don’t. They have one what splits - we researched it.

I’m just wondering what kangaroos would identify as if they have 3 vaginas and 2 penises?

I think you’re thinking of a Qooker or something similar spelling

Have Tom cats been done with their barbed, spikey penis?
No wonder the females screech

😄 I couldn't think of the name of that either!

Two more!!!

there’s a species of marsupials that look like a mouse called a Antechinus. During breeding season, the male will stop eating, sleeping and drinking and will literally have sex with any female until they die. 12 hours of continuous sex and then dead…

Also, flatworms will fence each other with their sex organs before mating. They are hermaphrodites and they will both grow a dagger like organ and fence. The winner stabs the loser and the loser will become pregnant.

AND!!!! Sheep have the highest rate of homosexuality in the animal kingdom (after humans of course)

Also, crocodiles have permanent erections!! So many blue balls for the poor croc

I will stop posting eventually Grin

I can't think of it's name. It is something like the boiling kitchen tap?
It's driving me crazy, I'll have to google

Ok now it’s proof that twitter is obsessed with trans issues since they are one asking why we are talking about this…when it has nothing to do with trans!

Just typed this all out…and gotta type it again Angry

So ducks…well most people know males have a corkscrew penis but females are amazing too. She has two channels in her vagina. When a male is raping her (cos they do seem to gang rape her at times), if she doesn’t like that male, she will send him down a dead end. He toddles off after thinking he’s successful, when in fact she’s just waiting for one she likes. That one will be allowed to fertilise her eggs.

Kangaroos once mature always have 3 joeys. One out of the pouch, one in the pouch, and then she’s pregnant which she will choose to release once the current pouch joey has left.

It’s always amazing watching this tiny jelly bean sized baby crawl its way up to the pouch. Some people believe they are born there. They really aren’t. They are born out of the vagina like every mammal, and then this tiny, blind, deaf, naked jellybean has to crawl it’s way up to the pouch, find it’s way in, and then attach itself to the nipple where it stays attached until weaned

I think it’s dragonflies that do this…

anyway, the females pretend to be dead when the male tries to mate her. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Snakes and some other reptiles have hemipenises and also hemiclitores.

I learnt this on Radio 4, which I am sure my mother listened to because it was respectable...

Skippy was a female kangaroo otherwise she wouldn't have a pouch. Puts a new spin on Skippy the Bush kangaroo.

Komodo dragons have the same sex determination mechanism as birds - determined by Z and W chromosomes, not by temperature like turtles.

A male is ZZ, a female is ZW. WW eggs don't hatch.

Normally an egg is formed by a cell splitting its DNA in half - so an egg has half a set of chromosomes, and the sperm provides the other half. An egg with half a set of chromosomes wouldn't develop.

In theory there are 2 possible ways you could get an egg with a full set of chromosomes that would develop without sperm. Either the DNA split doesn't happen before the egg forms; or the egg forms normally but then the chromosomes double up after the egg forms.

In komodo dragons it's the latter - so the egg starts with only 1 sex chromosome which then gets copied. This means the egg can only be ZZ (male) or WW (not viable). So all parthenogenetically produced dragons are male.

Mother Nature is fascinating.
And ruthless.
And has a wicked sense of humour.

@BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn thank you for that very clear explanation. It's a useful way for species to colonise new areas. They just need one founding female who survives long enough to mate with one of her sons.

There was a komodo dragon at Chester zoo that did that too and all her hatched eggs were male. Not hearing anything different I thought it was perhaps coincidence or hatching temp. But now I'm wondering if their unfertilised eggs are just always male, like honey bees.

The Komodo dragon at London Zoo was hatched from an egg laid by parthenogenesis. The keepers found eggs laid by their female. The resulting male isn't in any breeding programmes as he might not have the best genes apparently

IcakethereforeIam · 22/08/2023 22:12

I've got another one, mourning geckos Lepidodactylus lugubris reproduce without males. Male geckos have been found but are often sterile. However, in order to stimulate egg laying, or that's what they claim, the girls have pseudo copulation. Lesbian geckos!
