One of my favorite things about Africa is I get to ask the guide all kinds of dumb questions about animals. I'm honestly amazed about how dumb I am about basic stuff. Like, for example, did you know giraffes have the same number of vertebrae in their spines as other mammals? Yeah, they're just longer. Who knew? Definitely not me. I also asked a super-dumb question about birds yesterday that made my friend Deanie and the guide crack up. I said, "So, like, do male birds have like a penis and balls and stuff and do they like blast up sperm into a ladybird vadge? Or do they fertilize eggs outside the body? I don't know... I'm just asking because I've never seen a bird with balls and stuff." Anyway, after the guide stopped laughing at my idiotic question, he said they use a cloaca. I asked him what that was and he said it was like a bird penis. So that explains that. I also asked him if there was such an animal as a liger (half-lion half-tiger) because I remembered it from Napoleon Dynamite. He said yes, ligers exist, but he's never seen one. Then I asked him if he actually knew they existed since he's never seen one. He was like, trust me, dude. So that explained that.
