Meet Patty Brennan, she has one of the most interesting jobs that anyone could possibly ever have because she’s an evolutionary biologist who studies the genital structures of sharks, birds, snakes, and more. Basically, she finds out how animals bone by dissecting them, making silicon molds, creating 3D models, looking at them under microscope, and testing them. And it gets much more complicated than you’d think because of spiky hemipenises, corkscrew spiral penises, reinforced vaginas, and so much other good stuff.

It’s pretty fascinating to see how nature works, especially since how so much is still unknown.
