What is intermittent organ?
It's any organ that is used in INTERNAL fertilization by the male to place sperm inside of the female. This includes penises, but isn't limited to those particular organs. It also includes the "claspers" of chondrichthyes fish like sharks. These are technically fins, but are inserted inside the female's cloaca. A very small groove along the clasper carries sperm and semen along the outside of the clasper and into the female. There are lots of different adaptations among animals to go about internal fertilization, not just penises, so "intermittent organ" is a word to describe all of those organs as a group.
Are sharks a carnivores?

Do sharks nurse or abandon their offspring?
To my knowledge, Sharks do not nurse their offspring and while they my hover around until just after birth, they genereally abondon their young after they are born leaving them with a food source for the young to eat until they've learned to hunt for themselves. Nope,their young are pretty self-sufficient. Sometimes they eat their siblings in the womb. Contrary to what some people think, nurse sharks do not nurse their young.
Do sharks live in estuaries?
Yes, some species of sharks can be found in estuaries, which are areas where freshwater rivers meet the salty ocean water. Estuaries provide a unique habitat with a mix of salt and freshwater, making them suitable for certain species of sharks. Sharks that are commonly found in estuaries include bull sharks and lemon sharks.
What is the purpose of spines on claspers on sharks?
Aids in the transfer of spermatophores into the female cloaca.
Do sharks have 2 penises?
No. These "penises" are called claspers, which deposit semen into the female shark.
How will you know if a hammerhead is male or female?
Examine the pelvic fins on the bottom of the shark. Male sharks will have two, tubular claspers trailing off the back part of the fins. Female sharks will have normal, rounded fins. The claspers on the male shark are its reproductive organs and are used to internally fertilize the female. Juvenile males will have smaller, short claspers and can be harder to identify.
Where is a sharks penis located?
The sharks penis is located in it's claspers.
Do sharks have teets?
No, sharks do not have teats. Instead, female sharks have a reproductive system that includes internal fertilization with the male inserting claspers into the female's cloaca to transfer sperm for internal fertilization. The fertilized eggs develop inside the female shark before being born as live young or hatched as eggs.
What are claspers?
a ding a ling in male sharks used to make babies :-)
What appendages do sharks have?

How do you tell if a Great White Shark is a boy or girl?
If you are able to handle the shark, flip it over on it's back. Look on the underside of the shark, right in between it's lower fins by the tail. You will see the genitals. Male nurse sharks will have long fin like appendeges hanging on both sides of the genitals. These are called "claspers". These aide the male in mating with the female. Female nurse sharks will not have these claspers.
How many pinuses do sharks have?
Male sharks have two external reproductive organs called claspers, which serve the same reproductive purpose as a penis.
How do sharks procreate?
Sharks reproduce through internal fertilization. The male shark uses his claspers to insert sperm into the female shark's cloaca. The female then fertilizes her eggs internally, which eventually develop and hatch inside her body before being born live or laid as eggs.
How can you tell if a goldfish is a female?
Male fish have claspers on their lower belly, so if the fish doesnt have these claspers, then it's a female. I dont know if it's the same with goldfish, but since they're fish, it probably is.
How do great whites mate?
Great white sharks mate through internal fertilization. The male inserts his claspers into the female's cloaca to transfer sperm. Once fertilization occurs, the female will carry the embryos internally until they are ready to be born.
