wait until you hear about the cloaca

• lioeters 5y ago
  > A cloaca is the posterior orifice that serves as the only opening for the digestive, reproductive, and urinary tracts of many vertebrate animals. > All amphibians, reptiles, birds, and a few mammals have this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces. > Mating through the cloaca is known as cloacal copulation, commonly referred to as cloacal kiss. > The cloacal region is also often associated with a secretory organ, the cloacal gland, which has been implicated in the scent-marking behavior of some reptiles, marsupials, amphibians, and monotremes.
