Did you know?
A true "grower, not a shower": the dromedary camel's penis is fibroelastic and normally kept retracted inside the body, despite reaching a reported 59–68 cm in length. Its distinctive hook-shaped glans is only about 2.6 cm long.
Penis Retraction: Because it is fibroelastic, the camel's penis is kept retracted inside the preputial sheath in an S-shaped sigmoid flexure when not erect.
