Some animals come in four genders.
White-throated sparrows have two different types of coloring, white-striped and tan-striped. There are white-striped females and white-striped males as well as tan-striped females and tan-striped males. White-striped birds of both sexes tend to be more territorial and aggressive than the tan-striped birds of either sex. White-striped sparrows form the most successful mating teams with tan-striped birds.
And some boys can become girls.
See all the images and text by downloading or purchasing Crime Against Nature, the book. The making of the sparrow painting is shown on my blog.
