The crocodile couple who have not had a baby after mating for nearly 48 years finally found the cause, but the reason is hard to tell!

Introduction: In today's era of very developed Internet, many people often post some videos of small animals they took on the Internet, and many Internet celebrity animals came into being. However, in a zoo in the Polish city of Poznan, there are also With a very famous and star crocodile couple, the woman's name is Luiza and the man's name is Hector.

A pair of "star crocodile couples" have been married for nearly 48 years, but have never had a baby

This crocodile couple are both caiman, but unlike ordinary caiman, Hector and Luisa have been living together for nearly 48 years, which means that their marriage has been maintained for 48 years, many Human marriages have never been this long, and are completely different from other caiman relationships. So this is why Hector and Luisa can be called "star couple".

However, like many old couples, this crocodile couple also faced problems in their marriage, that is, during the 48 years of living together, they kept trying in estrus, but the results always failed.

During the normal caiman estrus period, the male crocodile will make various courtship actions, and after the female crocodile accepts and starts to mate, it will start laying eggs. Caimans are cold-blooded, they can't hatch after laying their eggs, so they lay their eggs in sunny dens, but the problem Hector and Luisa encountered was that their crocodile eggs were Baby crocodiles have not hatched.

Although the two crocodiles have been trying to mate for 48 years, Louisa's eggs never hatched normally. At first, the zoo staff thought that there was a problem in their bodies, so they checked the two crocodiles. However, the medical examination report showed that there was no problem, and the two crocodiles were in very good health.

This can't help but make it difficult for the staff, because if the two crocodiles can no longer hatch cubs, they will miss the best breeding time, which basically means that the two crocodiles can no longer have cubs after this period of time. .

So the zoo decided to invite two professional scientists to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the two crocodiles.

The reason why the crocodile couple has never had a baby makes people laugh!

Due to the caiman's body structure, their reproductive organs cannot be observed intuitively, because their reproductive organs are hidden in the floating cloaca. After some inspections by experts, they finally discovered the problem of the crocodile couple's difficulty in seeking children. The reason was because Hector's reproductive organs were too small.

The size of the reproductive organs of reptiles is a very important point, because if the reproductive organs are too small, the male cannot deliver sperm into the female crocodile, so naturally, natural fertilization cannot be achieved.

Some people may ask, didn't Louisa lay eggs? This is because crocodiles lay eggs like birds, and do not require male participation, but the eggs laid in this way are not fertilized, so this is the egg laid by Louisa, even if it stinks there. The reason for the successful incubation.

But in any case, after the medical examination results of the star couple were made public, the whole world knew that Hector's reproductive organs were too small, and as a result, the expressions on the faces of the audience who came to the zoo to watch the two crocodiles became a little more. Inexplicable smile.

So is it possible to artificially inseminate them?

In fact, artificial insemination is indeed the best way to solve this problem, but the age of the Hector couple can no longer support such a toss. In addition, the zoo cannot afford such a high cost, not to mention that the caiman is not currently an endangered animal, and there is no need for them to give birth.

The last and more crucial reason is that what people love about the crocodile couple is their long-term love, and this is what the crocodile couple should be remembered for.
