Puijila is now the oldest evidence of a pinniped known to science, and the team eventually recovered about a surprising two-thirds of the complete skeleton ? including a penis bone that determined the specimen's gender.
There's a penis bone? I thought that male sexual organs develop in the fetus from organs that resemble female organs, and it's not a skeletal change. Ok, well the human female hip bone gets wider, but is that even true in animals?

other animals also have penis bones, all of 3 seconds on google would have answered that, and youd get pics! :Q
