Episode 53 - The Baculum (Penis Bone)
It's been called the most diverse of all bones. It comes in an incredible variety of shapes and sizes, living and fossil, scattered across the mammalian family tree. It's called the baculum, the os penis, and in this episode we discuss what it does, who has it, what it means for paleontologists, and the evolutionary processes that made it what it is today.
In the news: whales eating whales, pregnant plesiosaurs, robo-tetrapods, and the first American dogs.
