Line 151:
* ''Lots'' of invertebrate species are hermaphroditic, including such familiar creatures as earthworms and snails.
* Some vertebrate species include certain fish such as Hamlets, Clownfish and Wrasses (although in the later two are sequential hermaphrodites. Meaning that they're usually one sex but will become the opposite under certain circumstances.)
* {en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudohermaphroditism|Pseudohermaphroditism} is a group of various medical conditions that result in indeterminate genitalia on birth. Because this is ''not'' true hermaphroditism (i.e. the person born with such a condition can't perform both male and female reproductive roles), the long used colloquialism "hermaphrodite" is discouraged for not being scientifically accurate - instead, the term "intersex" is considered more adequate.
