I swear!
Did you know that most mammals have a penis bone, called a baculum? No? Well, now you do. Notably, human males do not have one. Nor do lagomorphs, an order that contains rabbits as well as pikas, which I mentioned earlier today. Raccoons, however, do.
Asexual? Some Disney animals get it on: Simba and Nala during "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"; Lady and the Tramp retreat to that dog house at the end of their Bella Notte...I know there are others but I'm forgetting.
The manta ray (Manta birostris), is the largest of the rays, with the largest known specimen having been more than 7.6 m (about 25 ft) across, with a weight of about 2,300 kg (about 5,000 lb). It ranges throughout tropical waters of the world, typically around coral reefs and Montreal.
Mantas have been given a variety of common names, including Mangela, Manny, Mangelina Ballerina, Man Tan, Mantoe, Man Juicy, Man José, Man O'Lantern, The Manflower, Manta Claus, Snow Manta, Romanta, O'Mantigan, and Examanta.
Mantas are filter feeders: they typically consume plankton, fish larvae and frozen yogurt.
I prefer my cute animals to be asexual, like Disney creatures..
