Yet another penis clam: the watering pot clam of Singapore, Verpa (or Brechites) penis (with penis as its specific name): The common name is derived from a Native American word meaning “dig deep”. The geoduck ( Panopea generosa) is a species of very large, edible, saltwater clam in the family Hiatellidae. Some highlights, beginning with the geoduck, the (giant) penis clam of the Pacific Northwest: From a YouThink site on the “Top 10 Animals That Look Like Penises: Nature has produced some phallic creatures”, the list, from 10 to 1:įinless dolphin, bull terrier, naked mole rat, baby hippo, sea sponge, banana slug, sea lamprey, manatee, sea cucumber, geoduck These smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to invade and parasitise the human urethra however, despite ethnological reports dating back to the late 19th century, the first documented case of the removal of a candiru from a human urethra did not occur until 1997, and even that incident has remained a matter of controversy. Although some candiru species have been known to grow to a size of 40 centimetres (16 in) in length, others are considerably smaller. Then there’s the dreaded, ouch-inducing penis fish, the candiru:Ĭandiru (English and Portuguese) or candirú (Spanish), also known as cañero, toothpick fish, or vampire fish, are a number of genera of parasitic freshwater catfish in the family Trichomycteridae all are native to the Amazon River. Live gaebul (penis fish) sold at a fish market at Busan, South Korea: In particular, the worm is considered an important ingredient in Shandong cuisine and is used in numerous recipes. In Chinese cuisine the worm is stir-fried with vegetables, or dried and powdered to be used as an umami enhancer. The spoon worm is commonly eaten raw with salt and sesame oil in Korea and in part of Japan. It is widely referred to as a Fat Innkeeper Worm or the penis fish. The other is a fish, but it does’t particularly resemble a penis (any more than fish in general do) instead, it’s reputed to parasitize the penis.Ī species of marine spoon worm. One is a (marine) worm rather than a fish, but it resembles a penis. There are (at least) two creatures that go by that name. (In trouser snake, the relationship is location rather than resemblance.) What penis snake and penis worm share is the semantic relationship between the head noun and the modifying noun, which is resemblance: a penis worm is a worm that resembles a penis, and a penis snake is a snake-like creature that resembles a penis. They live in the mud, which they eat, in comparatively shallow waters up to 90 metres (300 ft). They are named for their extensible spiny proboscis, which, in some species, may have a shape like that of a human penis. ul-, diminutive) is a phylum of marine worms. Priapulida (priapulid worms or penis worms, from Gr. Penis snake here is a resembloid compound: the creature is not a snake, but resembles one. (The penis snake is also known jocularly as the man-aconda: portmanteau alert!) In discussing the conservation of the Amazon, won’t somebody please think of the penis snakes? However, given that the species is likely rare, it’s a bit distressing that the species was discovered during the drainage of its habitat. So this discovery has offered biologists a unique opportunity to study the species. eiselti was discovered in the warm, turbid waters of the Madeira River, it was theorized that they lived instead in the cold, oxygen-rich waters of an elevated region. eiselti (aside from its resemblance to human genitalia) is that, until last year, the species was known only from two preserved specimens. It’s also the largest known tetrapod to possess no lungs it’s believed that it breathes through its skin, but it’s still unclear just how the amphibian manages to intake sufficient oxygen to survive. eiselti is a caecilian, one of the order of amphibians that resembles worms and snakes due to its lack of limbs. ![]() Last year, a group of engineers draining a portion of the Madeira River in Brazil discovered six of these creatures, which biologist Julian Tupan identified as Atretochoana eiselti. But this phallic squirmer isn’t a snake at all but an extremely rare, limbless amphibian. When a crew of engineers stumbled across this critter while building a dam in the Amazon, many dubbed it the “penis snake,” and it’s easy to see why. We are in the world of phallicity (of the creature in question) and non-subsectivity (of the compound penis snake the penis snake is not a snake). It starts with a link from Ryan Tamares on Google+, to an io9 story by Lauren Davis yesterday, “Penis Snake is neither penis nor snake, but looks like both”.
