Sea bass are an example of an animal that can be classified as both female and male, or hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites have both male and female genitalia, which makes it easier to find a partner. A hermaphrodite is formed when two opposite sex fertilized eggs bond together. The ability to reproduce as both a male or a female can be an advantage in environments when the population is scarce. Humans, earthworms, and other fish can be hermaphrodites as well.
