* Induced ovulator
* Y-shaped Uterus
* Almost all pregnancies carried in the left Uterine Horn.
* Ova shed from the right ovary must migrate down the right Uterine Horn to the Uterine Body and up the left Uterine Horn in order to establish pregnancy.
== Hymen ==
* Membrane 3-4cm thick
* Persists from embryonic development in maiden females.
* Tough to break down, some males may fail to achieve it.
** Mating will stimulate ovulation and subsequent rejection of the male by the female but no pregnancy.
** May require assistance to break the hymen of maiden females using a sterile-gloved finger.
