The cloacal opening is the anus. Aquatic turtles hibernate in the water during the winter months. Their body functions slow and the anus widens to allow water to circulate into the opening. The opening is similar to the gills of a fish. As water circulates through the opening oxygen is absorbed by the many capilaries located in the cloacal opening.

Do eagles have penis's?

The Bald Eagle does not have a penis. They have what is called a Cloaca. When the male has mounted the female, he will rub his cloaca against the female's, flapping his wings and moving from side to side. Then, sperm will travel from the male's testicles into the female's cloacal opening. He will then dismount her and soon, eaglets will be born. Just an FYI.Read more: How_do_Bald_Eagles_reproduceBirds do NOT have external sexual organs. The male eagle does not have testes. The male and female do rub together but the male ejaculates as if pooping and the sperm is rubbed into the female cloacal opening. It's all external.
