In a few recent studies around the world, we were surprised to discover that some animals can change sex on their own or be polygamous. Here are the transsexual or polysexual animals in the animal kingdom.
Clownfish
Clownfish have an orange body with three white stripes. They are hermaphrodites with the ability to reproduce both male and female, according to Mother Nature Network. However, clownfish do not produce eggs and sperm at the same time. They are born with one sex but can switch to another if necessary.
Clownfish, also known as anemone fish (Latin: Amphiprioninae; English: anemonefish or clownfish) are marine fish that live on reefs and coral reefs, in the clade clownfish of the family Thia. Thirty species have been identified so far: some belong to the genus Premnas, while the rest belong to the genus Amphiprion. In the wild, they often live in symbiosis with sea anemones. Depending on the species, clownfish are yellow, orange, light red, and light black with white stripes. The largest individuals can grow up to 18 centimeters (7.1 in) long, while the smallest are only 10 centimeters (3.9 in).
Clownfish are omnivores and can eat undigested food from anemone hosts. The problem of clownfish feces will provide nutrients for the anemone. Clownfish primarily feed on small zooplankton from the water column, such as copepods and fin larva, with part of their behavior coming from algae with the exception of the pink clownfish, but this fish is also predominant. eat algae. They can also digest the tentacles of an anemone host. In addition, clownfish often communicate with each other by slamming their jaws together to create a series of rapid clicks when they detect a territorial invader or want to attack a potential mate. They make about 5 clicks every second when communicating, but how they make this noise is still a mystery.
jawfish
The jawkfish live in schools, but there is only one male and is also the largest fish in the school. When the male fish dies or goes missing, one of the females will transform into a male to take his place.
Besides, these male fish just over 15 cm long have to nurture about 400 eggs in their mouth. Not only that, male jawfish also have to force themselves to open their mouths continuously, so that the eggs can access oxygen-rich water. The jawfish has a rather strange way of reproduction. The female fish lays hundreds of eggs in the male's mouth, after which the male will nourish and incubate those eggs.
The male fish also has no chance to feed, because it has to stay still in the cave to ensure the safety of the eggs. It can only eat plankton floating around.
After the mother fish lays eggs, the father will fertilize the eggs and hold the eggs in his mouth to protect the eggs until it hatches. During this time, the male is not fed and he loses significant weight during incubation. After the fry hatch, the male has time to eat and recover.
Striped bass
Male basses that live in many rivers across the United States have female body parts. For example, studies show that about 70-90% of male bass in the southeastern United States are now hermaphrodites. They have immature egg cells that develop in the testicles.
Sea bass is a common name for many different species of fish that share this name. The term sea bass refers to both freshwater and marine fish, all of which belong to the larger order Perciformes.
Sea bass has many similarities with perch, in Old English the term bass means perch. Sea bass is a specialty with high economic value because the nutrition that sea bass brings beyond many other fish, sea bass has been domesticated to raise both in salt water and fresh water. Sea bass is also a popular fish in recreational fishing or sport fishing, especially in North America with black bass species.
The common feature of sea bass in this category is that it can live in both freshwater and brackish water. The sea bass has a long body, a wide, unbalanced mouth, and the upper jaw extends to the back of the eye. Head pointed, lateral view concave dorsal (concave dorsal shape) and convex anteriorly dorsal fin. Wide comb-shaped scales. Maximum length: 200 cm, weight 60 kg.
Many species of sea bass are enormous in size. Large sea bass have juveniles up to 50 kg or 70 kg, such as sea bass weighing up to 112 kg, more than 1.8m in length in Uganda. The current record belongs to a sea bass weighing 103.5 kg[5] or there is a sea bass weighing 16.89 kg on the Perfume River in Vietnam, with a length of 1.2 m, weighing exactly 16.89 kg. , this is the highest weight ever.
Fish calendar dragon
While most moray eels are born male or female and remain this sex for the rest of their lives, there are a few that are hermaphrodites. For example, the ribbon moray eel pictured above can convert from male to female.
Rhinomuraena quaesita (Scientific name Rhinomuraena quaesita) is a species of marine eel, it is the only member of the genus Rhinomuraena. The dragonfish is native to the Indo-Pacific. This species is also present in the waters of Vietnam.
The dragonfish is an elegant creature with a long, thin body and high dorsal fin. The calendula is easily recognized by its enlarged nostrils. Juveniles and juveniles are free-swimming black bodies with a yellow dorsal fin, while females are yellow with black anal fins. The adult males are blue with a yellow dorsal fin.
The dragonfish grows to an overall length of about 1 m (3.3 ft), and has a lifespan of up to twenty years. The calendula is the only marine fish that can change sex
Banana slug
The banana slug (banana slug) has a yellow body and a body length of about 25 cm. Banana slugs are hermaphrodites, meaning they use both male and female reproductive organs simultaneously. Despite the ability to self-fertilize, most banana slugs find themselves another mate to mate with.
The banana slug (Ariolimax) is a genus of three species of slugs found in North America. These slugs are usually yellow and sometimes have brown spots, resembling overripe (or overripe) bananas. Banana slugs are usually yellow (hence the name banana) although they can also be green, brown, tan, or white.
Ariolimax columbianus species sometimes have black spots so extensive that they appear almost completely black. Individual slugs change color with variations in food consumption, exposure to light and moisture.
Butterfly
In some organisms, such as butterflies, sex differentiation can be seen throughout the body. Literally, on the body of the animal both the colors and characteristics of males and females are displayed. This rare bisexual condition is called gynandromorphism. This is the result of an inherited genetic error during the initial cell division.
Butterflies are small, flying, diurnal insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. They often live near flowering bushes to suck pollen, nectar, and help pollinate flowers. Day butterflies are sometimes referred to as butterflies or butterflies, although butterflies can refer to moths (throne).
The color of butterflies is made up of thousands of tiny, stacked scales. Sometimes it is also colored particles, but in general cases the surface that produces these scales can refract light, so the butterfly's wings have a constantly changing color, sparkling as they move. Often the bottom is gray or brown which is a far cry from the colorful top. These ugly colors will serve as camouflage when its wings are folded. This will keep it out of the eyes of birds and other vermin.
Cardinal bird
Some cardinal birds can also have physical features of both sexes. The individual bird pictured here has half of its plumage a grayish-brown color (characteristic of females) and half of its plumage is bright red (characteristic of males).
Cardinalis cardinalis is a species of bird in the family Cardinalidae. This bird can be found from southern Canada, across the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south to Mexico. They are found in woodlands, gardens, shrubs, and swamps.
This songbird is medium in size with a body length of 21 cm. They have a distinctive crest on their head and a facial mask that is black in males and gray in females. Males have a vibrant red color, while females have a faint reddish olive. They mainly eat seeds but also eat insects and fruits. Males are territorial, marking out of their territory by singing. During courtship, the male will seed the female. The nest has 3-4 eggs. The breed was already a popular pet but was banned in the United States under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
Frog
In the wild, more and more male frogs are transforming into complete female frogs with fully functional reproductive organs. The main cause of frogs becoming hermaphrodites is that the herbicide atrazine accumulates in rivers and lakes, adversely affecting the sexual development of frogs. Due to the influence of herbicides in the accumulation flow and rivers, lakes ... more and more male North American green frogs are unintentionally transgendered. Many male frogs are transformed into complete female frogs with fully functional reproductive organs.

Adult frogs, in the breeding season (in late spring, after the early summer showers), male frogs call female frogs to pair. The female frog carries the male frog on her back, and the male frog holds the female frog across the abdomen to find the water bank to lay. Wherever the female frog lays, the male frog sits on its back to water it, fertilization occurs outside the mother's body (external fertilization).
Copper frogs live in moist places, near water banks (ponds, lagoons, etc.). They forage at night. The bait is usually insects, crabs, fry, worms, snails,... Frogs hide in the cave over the winter (wintering phenomenon). Frogs are thermogenic animals. Normally, true frogs have smooth and moist skin, strong and wide webbed legs. Real frogs vary greatly in size, from as small as Rana sylvatica to the world's largest frog Conraua goliath.
Most of them are water-dwelling species, most of which lay their eggs in water and undergo the tadpole stage. There are also a few arboreal species and a very small number of species that can live in brackish water.
Fish cobra
Some female snakes, such as the fish cobra (cottonmouth), are capable of fertilizing their own eggs without the need for a male. This means that snakes perform the reproductive functions of both sexes at the same time.
Fish cobras (Agkistrodon piscivorus) are commonly seen in the wetlands of the southeastern United States, most commonly South Carolina and Florida. Interestingly, in addition to rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps ..., this snake is also a resident of drainage canals and ditches. Fish cobras are mainly nocturnal, they spend the day basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature and will not attack, unless hungry or provoked by the opponent.
Their prey includes both warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals such as fish, frogs, mice, salamanders, lizards, baby turtles, baby crocodiles, birds, small mammals and some other snakes. Newborn snakes have a very special method of hunting: they lightly flick the tip of their tail to fool prey that is worms or worms, wait for the enemy to approach and then just eat.
This snake is threatened by habitat loss and has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 2010.
Bearded Dragon
Bearded dragons living in Australia have the ability to reverse sex from the egg. Studies show that, when the temperature is warm during incubation, male bearded dragons often reverse sex to become female.
Pogona is a genus of reptiles in the family Agamidae, which contains six species of lizards commonly known by the common name Bearded dragons. They are species that are half arboreal, half underground, but spend a lot of time living in branches, in bushes and near human habitation.
Lizards in the genus Pogona bathe on rocky outcrops and exposed tree branches in the morning and afternoon to warm their bodies. Their diet consists mainly of insects, plants and sometimes small rodents. They are found throughout Australia and live in a variety of habitats, such as deserts, scrub forests and eucalyptus forests.

Marsh Harriers – Swamp Falcons
Marsh Harrier is an individual in the hawk family. Quite a large bird in terms of size, which is admirable when it is in the sky. Specimens of the representative breed group belong to predators, they have powerful wings that allow you to slaughter game. Lun likes to settle in Europe. Today we look at everything that affects this breed, highlighting the main aspects.
The common feature of the shape of most falcons has a rather dignified shape and a fierce feeling. Stand straight, back straight and neck upright. When flying, they lower their heads to hunt for prey.
The curved, sharp and very strong beak is often used to tear the prey. The upper jaw has a soft and thick fleshy membrane covering the base of the upper jaw called the base of the beak, usually yellow. The eyes are large, tubular, have little movement in the eye sockets and look very bright, the eyes can see very clearly with eyesight 8 times that of a human. This will help them observe very small prey from above. In addition to excellent eyesight, many species have excellent hearing for locating prey lurking in the vegetation.

They are found throughout Australia and live in a variety of habitats, such as deserts, scrub forests and eucalyptus forests. The wingspan is very long and wide, with the full wingspan of some species ranging from 1.6m to over 3m. Their large wingspan helps them to fly at high speed in the air and have dives to hunt at speeds of up to more than 300km/h.
Bluegill Sunfish – Blue gill sunfish
Bluegill sunfish come in three different varieties: mating, satellite-like, and tennis-like. The type that mates with each other will build nests and attract females. The satellite breed is active and similar to the female species, but is male and can release sperm. Finally, the tennis shoe-like species are the smallest, and are the male species disguised as younger fish.
Blue Sunfish is a freshwater fish in the Sunfish family of the order Perciformes, native to the United States, they are found in rivers, streams, waterfalls, lakes. They are well known sport fish and are also invasive species, they are highly invasive species. This fish is the state mascot of Illinois, the
Colobus Red Monkey and Olive Colobus Green Monkey
The Colobus red monkey and the Colobus olive green monkey are Old World monkeys that tend to live in male-dominated herds. Males are usually kicked out of the herd when they are old enough. However, some males have the oddity of being in the middle of a phase where their genitals are female-like, but they're still male.
The red colobus monkey is an Old World monkey of the subgenus Piliocolobus, genus Procolobus. They are closely related to the white and black colobus monkeys (genus Colobus) and several species are commonly found in groups with blue monkeys. The East African colobus is often hunted and eaten by common chimpanzees. It is found in western, central and eastern Africa, in humid tropical forests except for the red colobus Zanzibar, which lives in coastal scrub. Due to habitat loss and hunting, most subspecies of the red colobus are classified as threatened species in Africa and are among the 25 most endangered primates in the world. classified as endangered or critically endangered by the IUCN.
Colobus olive green monkeys live in groups of 15 to 150, consisting of several males, many females and their young. Each baboon has a social rank in the group. A major reason for the success of olive baboons is that they are omnivores and like other baboons, will eat practically anything. As such, they can find nutrition in almost any environment and can adapt to different feeding strategies.
