> and the male had an extra vertebra

My brain seized up trying to picture this. They didn't say vertebrum, so that's not just a wee bone but a whole other second spine! How does it even...?? I must know!

Sorry, it was just an extra bone.

Actually, I think I got it right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebra

		You're correct. My neophyte Latin chops be exposed. Let me explain what I just learned with my figurative antennae (plural, not antenna which also ends in 'a' and is singular), something about first and second declensions and neutered... No that's plenty enough. Carry on!
