An international team of researchers, led by the University of Adelaide has provided the first anatomical description of the female snake clitoris, in a first-of-its-kind study.
PhD Candidate Megan Folwell from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Adelaide, led the research. “Our study counters the long-standing assumption that the clitoris is either absent or non-functional in snakes.” Associate Professor Kate Sanders, School of Biological Sciences, University of Adelaide, said: “We found the heart-shaped snake hemiclitores is composed of nerves and red blood cells consistent with erectile tissue – which suggests it may swell and become stimulated during mating. This is important because snake mating is often thought to involve coercion of the female – not seduction.”
