#1 The human penis is between 5 and 9 inches long on average, with the largest ever recorded being 13. 5 inches long by 6. 2 inches in circumference. The corkscrew-shaped penis of the Argentine duck is the largest known, relative to an animal’s body size, in the entire vertebrate world.

#3 The human penis is between 5 and 9 inches long on average, with the largest ever recorded being 13. 5 inches long by 6. 2 inches in circumference. The Muscovy duck experiment highlights one of the fundamental differences between mammal and bird penises and asks when, where, and why the practice of mating by copulation first evolved.

#4 In 1983 I was studying the armor-plated placoderms, a group of fish-like animals, and I discovered a new genus of the group that I named Austrophyllolepis. In 1986, I led an expedition to the Gogo fossil sites in Western Australia, and the first big discoveries that would impact on the origin of vertebrate reproduction were made.

#1

The male Argentine duck has the largest penis relative to its body size in the entire vertebrate world. Humans have the largest penis among our anthropoid cousins, the great apes.

#2

The Argentine duck is the exception to the rule of nature, as it has the longest male genital organ of any backboned creature. The duck penis is formed from an extrusion of soft tissue from the inside of its bottom, which comes out when aroused through a combined anal and genital opening called the cloaca.

#3

The evolution of sex through copulation poses a lot of interesting scientific questions both behavioral and physiological. We have two main sources of information about how and why animals mate: observations from the living world, and the fossil record.
