Just a thought

If platypuses have XXXXX rated sex, I wonder if echidnas are the same. I bet no one has studied that, because echidnas are common and boring and ordinary.

Editspoke too soon. There are plans.

Hey, echidnas are cute! Especially the little ones. Do keep us posted if you hear any more about this.

Back when she was little, the echidnas were Vicky's favorite critters at the LA Zoo. (I think these days she likes the fossas best, but then they didn't HAVE any then.) She couldn't quite pronounce it right, so called them "enigmas". Did this around a keeper once, who commented that given they didn't even know the sex of some of their collection, that sounded about right to him. :->

Enigmas is right.

Did you know the male's penis has 4 heads?

Do I even need to say what sort of image that put in my head?

Does that mean he has 4 times the FUN---?

*evil grin*

Um... no, actually. :-> Though I did know male rattlesnakes penises have two.
