Meanwhile, some of us are jealous of the "two-pronged penis."

My kangaroo friends tell me it's not so bad. In fact, they say that they have trouble conceiving of it being any other way.

They can also delay/stop pregnancies during stressed times.

Children, life is complicated.

Two-pronged penises must be hell to circumcise.

Shit shit shit fuck shit fuck, I'm gonna have to totally rework my fursuit. Thanks a lot, biology.

You could never be a Republican kangaroo, since kangaroos can spontaneously reject fetuses in times of stress. Without apologies to, or permission from old white men.

If they could talk they'd say "Hop on in here, big boy".

Yeah, they decide when to let fertilized embryos start developing, depending on whether there's a drought, or another joey already in the pipeline, or maybe never.

And all of this without brains! (Kangaroos and all marsupials have really, really tiny brains, which use too much energy).

@9 I'm always amazed how species with tiny brains survive for millions of years perfectly well. Obviously, big brains are not a prerequisite for survival. In fact, it looks like big brains cause trouble for species survival. And if that's the case, it may be even less likely we will ever recieve evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

...mine gott, can you imagine the republican kerfuffle in trying to figure out how to write a no-abortion-for-kangaroos bill? I am smelling teenie republican brains frying, like this is THEIR brain on drugs...yay!

@10: It's also surprising how brain size and intelligence don't seem to be all that closely correlated. Ravens seem to be smarter than a lot of mammals with far larger brains, and in spite of their larger brain size dolphins don't seem to be as intelligent as we are.
