Studying the ins and outs of cetacean and pinnipede sex presents some obvious challenges. Lynyrd Skynyrds Second Helping, the record that contained the southern rock heroes biggest hit single and perhaps greatest theme tune, Sweet Home Alabama. “Whales, dolphins and porpoises have unusual vaginal folds, spirals and recesses that the penis and sperm must navigate through to successfully fertilise the egg.” “While it may seem intuitive that the penis fits well into the vagina during copulation, the biomechanics and details of the anatomical fit can be quite complex and have seldom been explored,” says Orbach. Most species of marine mammal are known to have unusually shaped genitalia, but until now there has been little research into how the actual mechanics of sex work. Lynyrd Skynyrd (/ l n r d s k n r d / LEN-rd SKIN-rd) is an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida.The group originally formed as My Backyard in 1964 and comprised Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocalist), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins (guitar), Larry Junstrom (bass guitar), and Bob Burns (drums). Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping (CD, Album, RE) Label: MCA Records Cat: MCAD-1686 Media Condition: Media: Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect disc.
The song reached 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1974. It was the band's second album, and featured its biggest hit single, 'Sweet Home Alabama', an answer song to Neil Young's 'Alabama' and 'Southern Man'. Is it a sign of sexism embedded in the field of zoology that until now the bulk of research into the mating mechanics of marine mammals has concentrated on the role of the penis? That’s a question likely to be asked more than once at the annual Experimental Biology Meeting in Chicago this week as Dara Orbach of Dalhousie University in Canada presents new findings into how dolphin sex, porpoise sex and seal sex actual happens. Second Helping is a 1974 album by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
