The effects of endocrine disruptors were found in a similar species (mink) 50 years ago. However, they don't get as much attention, being the lesser of two weasels.

ubetcha, most mammals have bones in their penises. Humans are actually the odd ones out. The technical terms for the bone are baculum, oosik, and walter.

You keep doing that and you will go blind, or at least need glasses.
