Gordlbeez anon, did they not teach you basic Tamaranean Sex Education in high school?

The Tamaranean female is physically large, broad shouldered and has a bushy red beard, all to scare off preadators. She also has powerful abdominal muscles to protect the incubating young, and to propel the egg up the throat a few weeks before it hatches.

Meanwhile the male has a more slender and agile build, better suited to slipping through the narrow burrows of prey animals. However, this does of course mean that the male body has both less surface area to absorb the sunlight needed for generating starbolts, and less room to store vital water deposits over the dry season. The Jorfloob organs solve both of these problems in the form of a pair of squishy sacks that store highly pressurised water and increase the total surface area of the skin. As large jorfloobs have an obvious advantage in terms of evolutionary pressures, they took on a secondary role as an important part of their already elaborate mating dances.

Man, you’d think Earth would make more effort to understand it’s close galactic neighbours after all the times it’s been invaded.
