@delraydroneshots on Instagram: "Dolphins are smart… but their mating behavior might surprise you! 👀 Male dolphins have a retractable, highly flexible penis that stays hidden inside a genital slit! 🫣 Their testes are internal, helping maintain a streamlined body built for speed and agility in the water. 💦 Because dolphins don’t have a fixed breeding season, competition to reproduce is constant. This has shaped complex and sometimes aggressive mating strategies over time. 🙄 Marine biologists
