play in progressYesterday I started idly wondering if #clitorises are a human/primate special or if they are more widespread. Turns out they are! Almost all vertebrates have them, except for birds, except except for those bird species where the males have penes. Clitorises have even been found in reptiles like snakes, who have two-parted "hemiclitorises" \o/ But animal clitorises are still quite underresearched /o\
