I didn’t know they had feets!!!! 🙀😭🥹

u/RogueSlytherin 6d ago

Oh, friend. Those are definitely sexual organs.

u/TheTreeSnuggler 6d ago

No wonder he seems so happy lol

u/adr_001 3d ago

I’m sorry, come again?

u/CentralValleyKink 3d ago

I'm gonna need about twenty minutes.

u/OverlyAnxiousEgg 2d ago

Those are pelvic fins not claspers. Claspers would be a second pair of little "feet" and slightly lower towards the tail

4

u/shslmya 3d ago

nope those are just its pelvic fins, sexual organs would be claspers which these are not

23

u/NemeanLyan 6d ago

Yeahhhh, those are actually how you know it's a he

20

u/LN_McJellin 6d ago

They have TWO?! What? Hahahaha

8

u/wazzup-notemuch 4d ago

A lot of fish and lizards do, it helps them grab onto the female during mating.

4

u/LN_McJellin 4d ago

Ohhhkay, so does it still have a singular penis, and those are only there for holding purposes?

5

u/wazzup-notemuch 4d ago

No, they're both technically penises, but they only insert one at a time while the other grabs.

5

u/LN_McJellin 4d ago

So they have two prehensile penises?
I know it’s just their biology, but through the lens of modern humans, this is absolutely hilarious.

3

u/wazzup-notemuch 4d ago

It is very funny, yes. 🤣

6

u/quietmedium- 4d ago

They're called hemipenes haha I know from my interest in reptiles.

I didn't know about the stingray!

u/OkamiKhameleon 4d ago

I know about double penises from Manga and Manhwa lmaoo.

u/Fuzzy1353 5d ago

Not to rain on your parade but I think those are sexual organs not actually feet. 🫤

u/HauntingPsyche 5d ago

Hahahah well shit

2

u/OverlyAnxiousEgg 2d ago

Those are pelvic fins not claspers/sexual organs. Claspers would be a second pair of little "feet" lower down

u/HauntingPsyche 1d ago

I actually love weird stuff like that - from an educational perspective, but I wasn’t aware of that sub thank you for showing it to me lol

13

u/HeavyBreathin 6d ago

Wait are those just really funky little fins or does homeboy have teeny baby feet?

22

u/NemeanLyan 6d ago

Those are how you know it's a he. They're called claspers and are male sexual organs

21

u/livesinstretchpants 6d ago

So technically he’s rubbing his manhood at me?! pearl clutch

13

u/HeavyBreathin 6d ago

For real, little man's just rubbing em on the glass 😭

3

u/HeavyBreathin 6d ago

Ope 😂 I should've figured that lol

1

u/OverlyAnxiousEgg 2d ago

Those aren't claspers. Claspers would be a second pair of little "feet" that are lower down than the pelvic fins which is what you're seeing in this video.

u/GoddessEliteDomina7 6d ago

OCEAN PANCAKE

u/VociferousVal 6d ago

u/babygirl_42069 6d ago

Awe baby stingray balls are waving at me how cuteeeee - those aren’t feet guys 😂🥹

1

u/OverlyAnxiousEgg 2d ago

Those are pelvic fins, not sexual organs. Claspers, which would be what you're probably thinking of, would look like another set of little "feet" or fins lower down than the pelvic fins you're seeing here.

u/Harriet1849 6d ago

2

u/xoDarthcupcakeox 6d ago

I wanted to know more, so, I looked it up. Those are actually his claspers.. aka his reproductive organ

Still cute though

2

u/Scary-Umpire-7621 5d ago

Baby stingray wiggles his balls lol well claspers… but balls sound funnier!
