In the animal kingdom, penises can be weird and wild things. Males of just about every animal species use some form of the organ to shoot sperm into females' eggs and create more little critters. But that's where the similarities end. Evolution has selected for some remarkable innovations in penis design. From detachable sex organs to spiked heads, Life's Little Mysteries explores the strange world of wildlife wieners.

Posh and bother. I know you are a person with curiosity. Curiosity shows a desire of learning/understanding. Therefore IMO you are already smart.

I'm glad you seeded this article, Al. It one of the strangest articles I've read about animals and penises. Oh lawd. lol
Oh where to begin? Hmm... well, the snake has two penises. But the next photo is of lo and behold, the echidna with four? Damn!
Then we have:
Our No. 1 weirdest animal penis goes to the argonaut octopus, a type of nautilus. This tentacle animal swims around in the ocean, but while it’s busy looking for food and checking out the sights, the argonaut’s penis simply detaches itself and swims away to look for ladyparts. When scientists first encountered the disembodied penis, they thought it was a parasitic worm. It was only years later that they discovered the swimming organ was actually a zombielike sperm bomb.
Yeah, I would say that is the most incredible. I need to go back and reread it just in case I pick another no.one.
Way to go, Al! Fascinating info. lol
