Male kangaroos has 3 penises

[MrsMurphyIWish]

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?

How different society would be if women had pouches to incubate our young.

Also, how different society would be if humans had a mating season instead of the all year round arrangement.

Aw YES a chance to share my slug pr0n video!!!

I only recently found this out but male porcupines pee on the female porcupines and if she likes how it smells she picks him.

I suspect that is a sub-theme in porn somewhere.

Reminds me of the old joke 'how do hedgehogs make love? Very carefully'. And, of course, Nanny Ogg's song.

The drone bee's penis explodes off with ejaculation. Mating takes place on the wing so the semi exploded drone falls to earth while the queen flies on to mate with other drones.

Drone bees' only purpose is to mate which they do only once (see above). Any drone bees left in the colony after the summer have their wings chewed off by the female worker bees before they are literally kicked out of the hive so they are not a drain on limited food stores over winter.

Also probably a porn theme somewhere.

With an audible pop! It's faintly disturbing the glee that beekeepers have when they tell you about this.

That was bloody amazing! How does anything evolve to take that level of faff just to cop off!

Gotta love a matriarchal society!

I promise you this is a true story:

My mother was very religious and the vicar of our town visited us at home as she was recovering from illness. I was lurking in case she needed anything when in front of us all, the dog walked in, grabbed a cushion in her teeth and started humping it 😬

After a few mortifying seconds, my mum asked me, in a very strangled tone, to take the dog out.

WAIT TIL YOU HEAR ABOUT JELLYFISH!!!!

They can reproduce in various different ways. And the 'immortal jellyfish' can actually reverse the ageing process.

'Jellyfish have a complex life cycle: a single jellyfish reproduces both sexually and asexually during its lifetime, and takes on two different body forms.
An adult jellyfish is called a medusa, which is the familiar umbrella-shaped form that we see in the water. Medusa jellyfish reproduce sexually by spawning—the mass release of eggs and sperm into the open ocean—with entire populations sometimes spawning all together. Male and female jellyfish (there aren't many hermaphrodites) release the sperm and eggs from their mouths. In most species, fertilization takes place in the water; in others, the sperm swim up into the female's mouth and fertilize the eggs within.
The fertilized eggs then develop into planulae (singular: planula), which are ciliated free-swimming larvae shaped a bit like a miniature flattened pear. After several days of development, the planulae attach to a firm surface and transform into flower-like polyps. The polyps have a mouth and tentacles that are used to feed on zooplankton.
Polyps reproduce asexually by budding—when a polyp divides roughly in half to produce a new genetically identical polyp—or they can produce or transform into medusae, depending on the type of jellyfish. Hydrozoan polyps bud medusae from their sides; cubozoan polyps each transform into a medusa.
Throughout their lifecycle, jellyfish take on two different body forms: medusa and polyps. Polyps can reproduce asexually by budding, while medusae spawn eggs and sperm to reproduce sexually. (Smithsonian Ocean Portal)'

@ArabeIIaScott Did you have to?

I saw that when it first aired, it's taken me years to get over it. So much slime!

(Not as traumatising as the falling walruses in one of the Blue Planet's though).

I can’t imagine a genre of porn for that. Too complicated. Everyone would get bored long before the money shot.

Was discussing the love life of leopard slugs with someone, whether they'd make good festive decorations. We decided that a slug was for life not just for Christmas.

This is categorically untrue. Breasts don’t have brains and do not know the age of the child you’re feeding.

No, although they absorb information from the child's mouth (spit) and use that to calibrate levels of antibodies etc in the milk.

Certainly breasts respond to demand, so if one breast is consistently used by an older child it may well produce more milk and of a different composition. Will see if I can find any evidence to support that - here are two references on 'baby spit backwash' and immunity:

I get the impression there's not much research on tandem feeding. Tiny study of 13 women here:

'Higher fat content, energy value and total protein concentration was found in TBFM milk during tandem breastfeeding, than in milk after weaning the older child.'

Sorry that has totally killed the mood.

Please resume astonishing sex facts from the animal kingdom!

Angler fish, I think sold as monkfish. Female are scary as fuck. Males are parasites incapable of independent life once they have glommed onto a female. Basically, they become a testicle with no brain.

So can female humans!

Three vaginas is just showing off. Sperm in, Joey out...so what's the third one for? Bragging.

I heard/read somewhere that the coronal ridge scoops out other men's semen because reproductive competition between males happens inside the vagina and uterus, not outside. Males of other primate species have tiny balls in relation to their size because they compete for mating rights, so they don't have to worry about other males' sperm fertilising their female partner(s)/harem. They therefore produce much smaller amounts of sperm and seminal fluid. Human males compete by flooding the vagina with millions of sperm (most of which are not viable) swimming in copious amounts of semen - and scooping out the most recent rival's sperm from the woman's vagina.

Speaking of swimming, I also read that the sperm do not get to the egg solely under their own steam. There is a significant amount of "wafting" by the vagina, cervix and uterus. Starting with the female orgasm.

@IcakethereforeIam sounds like my friends ex.

The fact that you had to specify “he (the wallaby) …” 😂😂😂

I am currently on a train. I spat my coffee all over the seat in front of me because you made me laugh so hard, and now I am doubled up with the giggles. Thanks for that!!!!
