Male dogs have a conspicuous penis sheath. [8] Penile sheath of a Chihuahua with cryptorchidism. In stallions, the retractor penis muscle contracts to retract the stallion's penis into the sheath and relaxes to allow the penis to extend from the sheath. [9] The penis sheath of a male axis deer is elongated and urine-stained.
A notable difference from the human penis is that the visible part during an erection consists entirely of the glans. The retractor muscle is attached at the shaft of the penis. It is a paired smooth muscle that is used to retract the penis back into the sheath.
The retractor penis muscle occurs in marsupials and carnivorans, but it is absent in humans. [1] A stag's penis forms an S-shaped curve when it is not erect, and is retracted into its preputial sheath by the retractor penis muscle. [2] In Tandonia, the retractor penis inserts at the boundary between the penis and epiphallus. [3]
“There are different reasons a dog may lick another dog’s penis,” Levine said. “It may be that there are just so many good odors in [that area] that they’re attracted to that.”
Baculum of a dog's penis; the arrow shows the urethral sulcus, which is the groove in which the urethra lies. Fossil baculum of a bear from the Miocene. The baculum (pl.: bacula), also known as the penis bone, penile bone, os penis, os genitale, [1] or os priapi, [2] is a bone in the penis of many placental mammals.
For domestic dogs the tie may last up to half an hour or more, though usually less. [7] When male canines are sexually excited, the bulbus glandis may swell up inside the penile sheath, even if the dog has been neutered. [8] The bulbus glandis also occurs in the penises of some pinnipeds, including South American fur seals. [9]
About two thirds of the dogs do not itch and scratch more than normally. It is often secondary to food allergies, but there has been one case reported where the dog had CAEDE secondary to his T ...
A notable example of a bird with a pseudo-penis is the red-billed buffalo weaver, which do not use their pseudo-penis for direct insertion during copulation; however it does play a part in successful mating and stimulation. [15] Similarly to the red-billed buffalo weaver, the cassowary, a ratite, exhibits a pseudo-penis in both males and females.
