The difference between a male and female is that a male's sex or reproductive organs are located outside of the body, whereas the female's sex organs are located inside the body. For instance, where males have testicles outside of the body (for most animals except amphibians, birds, reptiles, insects, fish and most sea mammals), the females equivalent to the male's testicles, being the ovaries, are located inside the body. Also, the penis is made so that it is outside of the male's body immediately before and during copulation. The female's equivalent of the male's penis is the vagina.

Females are capable of giving birth to live young or laying eggs, depending on what animal we are talking bout, but males cannot. Males only have the means to get a female pregnant by ejaculating sperm into the female's vagina, which then travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize the ova or ovum that have been released into the female's reproductive tract.

Males have a Y chromosome and an X chromosome while females have two X chromosome. Males produce sperm that is meant to fertilize the eggs the females produce. In humans the males are generally more muscular than the females.
