When it comes to penile support, the extinct bear Indarctos arctoides had a lot going on. Happy #FossilFriday!

That is the baculum of an extinct bear. It's pretty much a fossil dick.

A baculum, if you didn't know, is a fancy word for a penile bone.
In related news, most mammals besides us have a bone that gives their member support during sex.

It's pretty handy, actually.
When the male is aroused, muscles slide the bone into the penile shaft and give it the strength and shape it needs to get the job done.
