After years of neglect, scientists say they've finally found the female snake's sex organ.

since the 1800s, three of the study's authors wrote earlier this year. They noted scientists have uncovered all kinds of information about the male genitalia, called a hemipenis in squamates, including about the size, shape and even whether it has spines.

To paint a more accurate picture of the female snake's anatomy, Folwell and a group of international scientists analyzed adult females of ninefrom different areas of the world, including Australia, Central America and South America. They also discovered that the snakes' clitorises have nerve bundles and fibers that could indicate tactile sensitivity,"similar to the mammalian clitoris," the study says. If male snakes were to provideto the organs, it could"elicit female receptivity" and even help promote longer and more frequent mating, as well as better rates of fertilization, researchers said.
