Question
DO bulls have bone or cartilage in their penis? I have been told dogs do - is this true? WHat other animals have bone or cartilage in their penis?
Hi cath;
Yes they do. Most mammals have a bone in the penis including dogs. In fact a walrus has one that is up to 30 inches long. Primates have them except for humans. They have been lost in men. These penile bones are called Bacula.
This will really blow your mind. Go to www.skullsunlimited.com and you can buy one for a few dollars. They come from many different mammals. They are called "hillbilly toothpicks" and are you ready for this? Some people use them for coffee stirrers. I kid you not.
A gift for someone who has everything.

| Comment | Thanks for your input. I just wanted to know because I have reservations about smoking marijuana if the cells that are affected aren't mine and are possibly of another neutral organism. I've told myself again and again if I had to experience the sensation of my arm getting cut three inches deep every time I get stoned I would sacrifice myself in that respect if those lungs cells aren't directly mine, but it still seemed very wrong to me. If they are a neutral organism that can bond to any human and have THEIR own properties, then I can't smoke anymore. I THEY aren't then I will smoke till I drop and save myself from cutting my arm. | ||
