| In Response To: F'lickta Maws *LINK* (Tim "Mordeir" Branin)
Morphologically, as a reproductive tract separate from the digestive tract, you might say that the maw is closer to a vagina than a cloaca. However, what slips it past the censors may be that, unlike either, it is not used for intercourse. Rather, the F'lickta engage in something intermediate between internal and external fertilisation. Like a fish, they release gametes into their immediate environment rather than introducing them directly into other F'lickta.
