== Penis ==
* Slim and worm-like
* Points Backwards when flaccid.
** Squat and urinate rearwards as females do.
* Process at the end of the penis is firm, composed of cartilage.
** It has a slight clockwise curve to aid insertion of the penis through the cervix so that semen can be deposited directly into the uterine horns.
* In newborn and juvenile males, a sheath of skin covers and adheres to the penis, making extrusion impossible.
** Lost at 1-3 years
** Loss of adhesions is a sign of sexual maturity.
* If castration is prior to the Testosterone peak at the beginning of puberty, then adhesions may never completely break down.
