See That Tail? It's Not A Tail.

Male sea turtles apparently have rather large penises that are easily mistaken for tails. I found this out while on Brampton Island with a conservation project. I was there for six days, and it was by far the best week I have had in Australia. We were talking on top of the Great Barrier Reef during low tide, and behold! A sea turtle. It was massive. Probably around seventy years old. Just chillin in a shallow pool, all by it's lonesome. Now, this island usually attracts the female turtles because it's a popular egg laying spot for them during the summer, so everyone was referring to the turtles as "she". The marine biologist on the trip started laughing and said, no that's for sure a "he". We all looked rather confused, so another biologist on the trip explained by saying "you see that tail? That's no tail. This poor bloke is hiding in the pool from his lady friends".
We laughed.
For ages.
