Striped Dolphins
Striped dolphins have three types of bodies we say look like girl bodies, like boy bodies, and bodies that look like both!
The same is true of Bowhead Whales and Fin Whales.

Spotted Red Hyena
The boys and the girls look AND act so much alike, it can be difficult to tell them apart, even if you look closely. One girl hyena usually is the strongest hyena in the family, and she leads the pack.

Kangaroos
Many Red and Gray Kangaroos, Euros, Tammar Wallabies, and Quokkas have bodies we say look like girl bodies, boy bodies, and bodies that look a little bit like both. In all their bodies, they have a pouch. That way, the Joey can ride in the mama or papa’s pouch. Baby kangaroos are called Joeys. Girl kangaroos often adopt another kangaroo’s baby, just like wolves, elephants, and fathead minnows do!

Big Horn Sheep
Some of the boy Big Horn Sheep, while looking like the other boy sheep, will act much more like the girls. The other boy sheep still treat the boy sheep like a boy sheep. Some scientists think this improves friendship, because most of the year, the boy sheep live together separate from the girl sheep.

White-Tailed Deer
The boy and girl White-Tailed Deer often look like each other, even though they act differently! These deer have 5 different bodies that have different mixes of boy and girl-looking parts, and how much they look like a boy or a girl’s. Black-Tailed, Red-Tailed, Swamp, Sika and Roe Deer, Moose and Elk all have more than just boy-looking and girl-looking bodies.

Bats
Bats create long-lasting families where everyone takes care of each other. They do not have boy/girl ways to act or look. Bats are most concerned with everyone being strong.

White-Throated Sparrow
These birds have boy bodies that act in two different ways and girl bodies that act in two different ways. This means they have four genders and two body types!

Clown Fish
The girl Clown Fish body is larger than the boy body. And if the girl goes away and leaves the boy Clown Fish with the little fishes, he changes his body into a girl Clown Fish.
Beluga whales
Beluga whales have three body types: boy bodies, girl bodies, and boy-and-girl bodies. Oh whale!
Sea Horses
Boy Sea Horses have a pouch where the girl Sea Horse places the fertilized Sea Horse eggs. This allows the boy to be pregnant and care for the growing babies. This daddy carries the babies until they are ready to be born.
