Interesting name. And a Google search indicates it's not pure vandalism. I think I read once about an animal like this with an extremely long penis, 10 times the length of the main animal, or something. I think it was a sedentary animal that used his penis in mating seasons for poking around and hopefully stumble across a female, or something. The wonders of nature. 惑乱 Wakuran ( talk) 10:00, 7 July 2009 (UTC) reply
