Cloaca

Cloaca

In zoological anatomy, a cloaca ( /kloʊˈeɪkə/) is the posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts of certain animal species. All amphibians, birds, reptiles, and monotremes possess this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces, unlike placental mammals, which possess two or three separate orifices for evacuation.
