According to the Times on June 5438+05, although men and their snickering wives may say that it doesn't matter whether the reproduction is big or small, fossa, a distant relative of the lion, will definitely not believe this statement.
Mashima raccoon is a mysterious cat, nicknamed "Madagascar pink leopard", which has the largest penis bone of all cats. Scientists think they are the veritable "king of the jungle" on this island. An adult Ma Tao raccoon is about 1 meter long, but its reproductive organs are about18cm, which is almost one sixth of its body length.
If a human has the same proportion, you can calculate how long his genitals should be.
Scientists believe that the reason why Mashima raccoon dog has such a proud big guy is because of the needs of female companions, and it is also a powerful weapon to defeat same-sex courtship competitors. On March 14, Leslie Dickey submitted her research paper to the Zoological Society of London. She said that the super-long penis bone may be a secret weapon with excellent combat effectiveness in the mating war, and their mating time can be as long as 8 hours! "The long penis bone can keep the penis unusually firm after erection, which is called natural Viagra."
Dr. Dick said that strong penis bones are needed to stimulate female companions, because the success of mating depends on the masculinity of male island raccoons. If the female raccoon thinks that the "young man" can't meet her requirements, she will have the idea of empathy and look for other male raccoons. In a week, the female needs to mate five times to determine whether she has found the "Mr. Right". Dr Dick said: "Previous papers have pointed out that the penis bone of the island raccoon is huge relative to its size. We can't describe it as' extremely huge', more precisely, it should be' too unusual'. For raccoons, animals with huge genitals, penis bone may enhance the necessary hardness during long-term mating, or it may be a sign of masculinity. "
Like domestic cats, Maashima raccoon's genitals are barbed, which makes pulling it out a painful and long housework, and the penis bone is easily broken. The researchers found penis bones in five types of mammals, namely primates, carnivores, insectivores, rodents and Chiroptera (bats). Scientists believe that penis bone was "abandoned" by many animals in the early evolution and development process, including us humans. Wolves, civet cats, monkeys, bats, badgers, ferrets and other animals still retain the original weapon of penis bone. The length of the penis bone of a lion is similar to that of a raccoon, but it is much larger.
Adult macaques weigh about 15 lb (6.8 kg). It is the largest carnivore in Madagascar. It mainly feeds on lemurs and sometimes attacks hedgehogs, lizards and frogs. The villagers on the island are very afraid of it. Like most animals on the island, it is also facing the crisis of habitat loss. Mashima raccoon dog is an endangered animal, with only 2,500 in the wild. The government of Madagascar recently promised that by 2008, one-tenth of the island will be protected to help raccoons thrive on the island.
