Yeah, no teeth.
They are born with like some vestigial teeth, which kind of helps them crack out of their egg.
But then as an adult, they don't have any teeth.
They have what we call keratinized grinding pads.
So inside the mouth, it's like these two kind of
horny grooves that run kind of laterally.
So when they come to the surface, they're kind of using their bill.
They're kind of moving the top side to side and really grinding up all those little bugs into sort of a paste, really.

Yeah.
So they're a monotreme.
So, yeah, they lay eggs.
They have a cloaca.
So both male and females have the cloaca, similar to what we see in a chicken, which essentially means like all their reproduction and all their feces and all their urine and everything happens in a single hole.
For the males, they have like the penis, the testes are inside, like internal.
When mating happens, he'll kind of flop out his penis and yeah, into the cloaca of the female and they will engage in mating.
