In zoological anatomy, a cloaca is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts of certain animal species. The word comes from Latin, and means sewer. All birds, reptiles, and amphibians possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces, unlike placental mammals, which possess two separate orifices for evacuation.
A cloaca is the posterior opening in birds, reptiles, fish and monotremes (egg-laying mammals) which is the single opening for the reproductive, intestinal and urinal tracts. These animals pass their urine, faeces and eggs as well as live young through this opening. The word actually means sewer.
