Just read in the paper about a hunter in Ontario who shot a 16 point deer . He went over to where he shot it and it was a doe with a rack. Maybe its the world record hermaphrodite. RR | ||

Actually, Jamie Lee Curtis still has the record hermaphrodite rack  I read an article detailing research by some G & F department in the US and they found a particular area where up to 7%(I think) of the deer there were hermaphrodites. The turkey I shot this spring was a 17lb hen with an 11 1/4 inch beard - and nubs/spurs. I thought something was a little strange as her head wasn't bright blue or red when she came by. I clearly identified a beard, and I blasted her. You hear about this quite a bit with turkeys, but I wonder how prevalent it is among deer. | |||

Actually, that lovely woman is a case of testicular feminization. Although she is externally a perfect female, not a hermaphrodite, she is an XY (male) chromosomally, not an XX (female). Some endocrinology professor told me this somewhere along the way, so I cannot cite a reference on it. We all start off as females embryologically. At some point the gonads decide to become testicles and start the process of masculinization. In a testicular feminization case, the gonads of the XY individual go on acting like ovaries instead, and a perfect though sterile female can develop. She is quite a babe nevertheless. Hyenas suffer a deficiency in aromatization of sex steroids, on a biochemical level. They have trouble making female hormones, but they are able to make some. That is why the female hyenas look like hermaphrodites routinely, I believe. I am no expert on this, though that old endocrinology professor was. Yeah, he was kind of wierd too. He found this stuff fascinating. ------------------ | ||

How did that info get out on Jamie Lee Curtis? Well, if she's externally a perfect woman........I don't think anyone of us is going to kick her out of bed! | ||

Did you see a picture of it? I have seen pictures of several antlered does, and without exception, they all had spindly, mis-shapen racks, even though a couple had a decent number of points -- not 16 though. Just curious. Todd | |||

It is a widespread rumor. As far as I know, it has not been verified with any credible evidence. I would like to know how that professor got a hold of her medical records. [This message has been edited by Wolverine (edited 11-28-2001).] | ||

I have no other information on this. I would rather just think of the anatomically perfect female aspect of it. Just put it to bed. Pun intended. ------------------ | ||
