A cloaca is a common opening for the excretory and reproductive systems found in some animals, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and certain fish. It serves as a multifunctional passageway for waste elimination, as well as the release of eggs or sperm. In mammals, the term is primarily associated with monotremes like the platypus and echidna, which have a cloaca instead of separate openings for these functions.
