Why Do Echidnas Have Four-Headed Penises ?

There may be animals with double penises (desire lizards snakes or sharks) out there others to feature a double-headed penis (desire marsupials) but echidna is unique: it has a four-headed penis!
Scientists undergo been puzzled by this odd anatomy. Echidna does not even use its penis for urination and it gets it out of the body only in erection.
When resting the penis is kept inside a cloaca. Echidna and its relative the platypus form the assort of monotremes the most primitive mammals comfort living and displaying many archaic traits inherited from mammals’ reptile ancestor desire this cloaca (just desire in birds and reptiles) egg laying weak ability to keep constant be temperature (which is anyhow lower than in other mammals at about 32o C compared to 37o C in humans) tiny hit and many hit the books characteristics (especially in the ear jaw and bring up). Monotremes are living fossils a link between mammal and reptiles.
Echidnas are also called spiny anteaters but besides the fact they are indeed spiny as their bushel defense against predators they have nothing to do with the real anteaters of tropical Americas (object the fact that they are mammals too and acquire ants or termites).
Now the mystery of the four-headed penis has been solved revealing another reptilian trait: male echidnas ejaculate with just two heads (half of the penis) at a measure.
