Scientists have discovered that snakes do have clitorises, shattering a long-held assumption that the females didn't have a sexual organ.
Research published Wednesday provides the first proper anatomical descriptions of female snake genitalia.
Snake penises - hemipenes - have been studied for decades. They are forked and some are embedded with spikes.

It wasn't necessarily that it was elusive - rather, scientists weren't really looking for it
