(hermaphrodite is an organism that has reproductive organs of both male and female sexes: en.wikipedia.org) Just searching about my hamster- if it ate snails.. 
then I came to this article about how snails mate- I never knew about this, that when 2 snails mate both of them become pregnant since they have both organs of male and female.. wow, that's why they become so many in our backyard.

Something new learned today! Aren't you glad people aren't like snails! If people reproduced that way, we'd be so overpopulated!

@gloryacam yes, good thing we aren't like snails at all- if we were, the world would twice as populated. 
@CaptAlbertWhisker not really a fan of exotic food. they look disgusting though since they produce that sticky liquid..do they cook it, or do you eta it raw..?

who needs a spouse if you can reproduce on your own, speaking of nails, I lvoe eating them as escargot, and I also love eating them when they were simmered in coconut milk. I know many people are grossed out of eating them though, but yeah i eat snails. a pair of snails can get each other pregnant too, creepy as it may sound.

Jellyfishes are crazier, they were born as female, turns into hermaphrodite in their "teenage years" and turns into male as an adult... and guess what they can transform back into a baby (yes they were darn immortals unless in captivity)

Cool! Hate them, though. Been stung. Twice!!!! They are so opaque you can't see them. That's how I got stung. Luckily, I only had rashes.
