Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Fissiparousness

👉 Fissiparousness is a philosophical concept in which animals are capable of reproducing more than one offspring, even when they have already given birth to two. This behavior is often associated with certain species such as primates and dolphins, where it is known as "fissile reproduction." The term derives from the Latin word for "bone," indicating that the offspring produced by these animals are made of bone or other hard material rather than a soft, fluid tissue like jellyfish or shrimp.
