okay serious hat back on for a sec! there are no other organs between a male shark's testes and the willing female he's copulating with's oviducts apart from the claspers! those are what get inserted into the female to release sperm and fertilize her eggs internally.
(only one though- generally whichever one is closer to her with how they're wrapped around each other, but some male sharks seem to have a preference! because of course they do.)
male sharks hold onto the females by biting :)
I will note though, that most sharks have kind of a "pocket" which is really just a dent in their tail that they can fold their claspers into while they're moving to lessen drag! but there's nothing actually keeping them in there when gravity is involved, so this super does not work if they're out of the water.
dicks out for the beach, I guess
Oh my god those are his dicks. I never noticed before. I thought sharks kept them tucked away in like a pouch or a slit or something?
no they're always just out. shameless
