A delicate matter...

["T. Mike Keesey" <tmkeesey@wam.umd.edu>]

Okay, this is going to sound kind of weird, so please try to remember 
that I am just asking this for the sake of scientific accuracy...

When I draw pictures of dinosaurs, sometimes I wonder if there should be, 
er, a little something down in the pubic region on the males. I always 
see pictures with featureless, uh, areas. I think I saw a Bakker 
illustration of _Ceratosaurus_ with testicles, but that's about it.

My question is, what was the probable nature of masculine dinosaur 
genitalia? I would assume it to be bird-like and crocodile-like, but what is 
that?  Is it internal? Are the testicles external, like in the Bakker 
illustration?
