[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1331858, member: 17767"] Hermaphroditism is normal in 65,000 species in which one individual has the functional reproductive parts of both sexes. For example, an earthworm. These species are monecious. In mammals, only one sex is developed in each individual. Mammals are diecious. Hermaphroditism is a defect and usually means an individual has both male and female anatomy about where it is suppose to be. Usually due to genetic or embryonic malformaties. It is odd that the penis would protrude from the anus. It is possible for a hermaphroditic cow to be fertile depending on the cause of the condition. There are clinical cases where humans who have been clinically diagnosed as hermaphrodites have been reproductively functional. Freemartins are not hermaphrodites. They are the result of twining where the female has an underdeveloped female reproductive system due to the impact of the male twin's androgens on the female twin. [/QUOTE]
