vulva

In a video to illustrate what happened to her vulva when she was aged six she cut off the petals of a rose with a razor blade and then stitched up what was left of the flower.

“It’s just I’ve been doing this a long time. It’s because it will work. I realize needing a vulva instead of a penis isn’t what’s right, but it’s what will work,” he said in an interview Thursday.

"The vet who initially assessed Ariel noted that, in addition to her two surplus back legs, she also had an additional vulva," said the 42-year-old.

Instead, the male serotine bats use their penises to push aside the protective tail membrane of the female members in order to reach their vulva.

The team of scientists was ultimately able to chronicle 97 mating events, during which the male bats would grab the females by their napes and probed the females' pelvises with their penises until they made contact with the vulva.
