Fun fact: Chickens can also change sex, specifically hens can turn into fully functioning roosters. From my research, no one quite knows why this happens, or what triggers it, but it seems to happen most often when a flock consists of at least one male that is then removed, and when that happens, the dominant female may change into a male to fill the role of a functioning mate for the hens left behind. I once rescued a transitioning hen who was in mid-transition, and stopped transitioning when integrated into my all-male bachelor flock, and unlike other times that I had babysat hens for friends, my boys showed no sexual interest in her and treated her as one of their own. Her name was Dorothy, and she was a Spanish White-Face.

wait really i thought it was just a behavioral change hens start mounting crowing and acting like a rooster but never being able to fertilize eggs

[@fubberpish3614]

yep!! loads of invertebrates and fish are hermaphrodites. it's curiously absent in non-fish vertebrates though, and I don't really know why. surely hermaphroditism would be beneficial for say, a mammal or reptile too, especially for those that are naturally scarce? I don't know the answer, but I'd love to learn more about this, it's very interesting!

[@mcvenne8935]

My favorite one is great white sharks. They're all males at birth. When they need a female, the biggest one just gets even bigger and fills that role. I love that all the giant badass great whites covered in scars and everything are just nice ladies underneath. XD Edit: Newers studies actually show sharks don't change gender. Ladies just take their time maturing. Oops... They are still chunky badasses, though!

[@SuperOmegaBerserker]

I just think its its funny that yhe dominant land species that doesnt need to do this and cant actually do it to produce offspring are sitting here copying clown fish and failing.

[@pump6400]

uh... great whites are not all males at birth

[@pump6400]

you might be confusing sexual maturity time with sequential hermaphrodite as it does take female white sharks longer to be mature enough to breed compared to males but im very sure sharks are not hermaphroditic

[@MegaEvilsaurus66]

That's not true. Great white sharks are either male or female and are not known to change sex at all. Pump corrected you. Recent studies indicate that males take around 26 years to reach maturity, while females take around 33. Females are larger than males of respective age on average. They are quite complex and unexpectedly social animals as well, with females being dominant.

It would be cool to see some sort of weird animal facts in every US State, doesn't even have to be mating related, just cool( or interesting) facts about an animal in each state. Like for example here in New Mexico, the New Mexican Blue Whiptails are all female!! (If I'm not mistaken)

[@fubberpish3614]

there's also the Amazon Molly, a species of live-bearing fish that is all female (the rare male does exist, but the numbers are so low the species is still considered entirely female). the Amazon Molly still needs to mate with a male fish from another species (the other similar molly species that share a habitat with the Amazon Molly) to trigger egg development, but none of their genetic material is incorporated into the developing egg, thus producing only more Amazon Mollies that are clones of the mother. what is really interesting is that the Amazon Molly has been reproducing this way for about 500,000 generations, and all-female species like this typically go extinct after less than 100,000 generations, due to accumulating harmful mutations. it is currently unknown why the Amazon Molly has been able to persist this far, and the fish are still healthy - hopefully, future studies will shine a light on why!

Hermaphrodite is not a dirty word! It comes from the Greek mythological figure Hermaphroditus who was both male and female, and that name itself is a mashup of Hermaphroditus' parents' names, Hermes and Aphrodite. The word hermaphrodite is a specific and useful term in biology used to refer to organisms that have the capability to produce both sperm and eggs (either sequentially or simultaneously) and the loss or taboo-ification of this term would cause unnecessary confusion and shame around useful scientific terms. I do think however, that it is important to use the term correctly. The word hermaphrodite is not "sketchy to use in regular conversations" it is _inaccurate_ to use outside of its biological context. (Although, in a regular conversation about clownfish for example it might be accurate.) Calling a human person a hermaphrodite would just be plain incorrect and ignorant (As of 2024 there are no known cases of true hermaphroditism in humans.), and above all, calling someone that just sounds kind of old-timey and weird and might make you look like you don't know what the hell you're talking about. For context: I am transgender myself, with a hobbyist level of interest in both biology and linguistics. I also want to address two of the oft brought up topics in the comments. Frequent comment 1: "Sex and gender are different" Please be aware that this is a linguistic model, not immutable word of god or anything. It is one way of categorizing and disambiguating these two words, sex and gender. The split sex/gender model is the predominant model to describe sex and gender in the modern day (as of writing this in 2024) but it was not always used, and might not be forever. I think the thing that's most important is that people understand what you mean. When you talk about the "gender" of a non-human animal, since they don't really have societal identities like us, I think most people would assume that what you are actually referring to is the reproductive sex of the animal, thus there isn't really any confusion in that context. Also, the words gender and sex have been used interchangeably for a long time. It would not be unreasonable for someone to use the terms reproductive gender and gender identity instead, for instance. The purpose of language is to convey meaning, not to be an inflexible pedant about minute details of "proper" phrasing. Context matters! And in this context, I think the intention is clear, unambiguous, and non-harmful. Besides, I do actually have some minor gripes with some people's usage of the split sex/gender model. I don't think the model is bad, mind you, but reality is more nuanced than most people assume. Hypothetically, if you ask several transgender women if they are male-sexed but female-gendered, you are likely to receive a lot of rightfully indignant responses. It is generally considered insulting to call a woman male, whether she is a trans woman or not, and it is likewise insulting to call a man female. (Unless they want you to call them that, as may sometimes be the case for bigender or genderfluid individuals. When in doubt, ask.) Another point of contention is that people who hormonally transition (which most trans people do), actually do in fact change their sex phenotype, that is to say, they change many if not all of the outward observable characteristics used to identify the sexes. Sex phenotype is in fact, a component of what constitutes one sex or the other! Trans people don't produce gametes opposite of their birth-assigned sex, but sometimes trans people are not capable of producing the gametes associated with their birth assigned sex either. Does that make them neuter rather than male or female? If you have say for instance, a trans man who is incapable of producing either sperm or eggs, and a cis man who is likewise incapable, and they both have a male sex phenotype, then why categorize them any differently? Food for thought, I guess. Frequent comment 2: "huhuh humans aren't on the list lol. get rekt wokesters" Please read my explanation about the correct usage of the term hermaphrodite above. Trans people being non-hermaphroditic does not in any way invalidate them or their gender identity so this isn't the own that you seem to think it is. Cross-sex hormone therapy and organ transplantation are both commonly done today. It's not out of the realm of reason that, through surgical intervention, someone might actually be able to have a functional gonad implanted, and thus produce both sperm and eggs at different points in their life, or even possibly at the same time. I don't know if elective hermaphroditism in humans is going to happen next week, or in 100 years, but it's not outside the realm of possibility so it stands to reason that it will eventually be done. Where there's a will there's a way.

to my knowledge, hermaphroditism in vertebrates is restricted to the ray-finned fishes (class Actinopterygii). it is not known to occur in any other vertebrates. it is present in various invertebrates as well. I do wonder why hermaphroditism in vertebrates is restricted to fish? it seems to have evolved separately on many unrelated fish lineages, so there's clearly a decent benefit to it in fish, and not an awfully difficult thing to evolve. what about other vertebrates makes it not beneficial, so they never evolved it even once?

[@pump6400]

@@fubberpish3614 probably due to the size of their natural environment and the difficulty of finding a mate in such a vast oceanic world?

[@fubberpish3614]

@@pump6400 that does make sense for some species (like the clownfish, which is more or less confined to it's host anemone all it's life), but less so for others - say, the tropical wrasse or anthias species. they are abundant reef-dwelling fish (each individual reef is often not that large, perhaps a few kilometres across at most, and small reef fish often do not move between reefs, as adults at least), so I can't imagine finding a mate would be too much of an issue. perhaps it has more to do with maximising the number of potential mates, and thus the genetic diversity of offspring? still, that hardly seems like something only fish would benefit from, so why did non-fish vertebrates never evolve sequential hermaphroditism?

@@Lumpybag "gender" as a social thing for humans is a recently added meaning ... In a scientific context like zoology, for instance when talking about fish, gender can be a synonym of sex, it's perfectly fine. That's the term scientists have always used.

because he's talking about things that change sex, not gender, he's using the wrong term, humans cannot naturally change sex because we have only been around for a few thousand years, unlike fish and frogs who have been around for billions
