...species which produce litters, such as pigs and dogs. He found that the sterility and abnormal sex development of female of bovine mixed twins is due to a fusion of the blood vessels of the twin embryos' placental circulatory system, so that twin calves have a common blood supply. Sex differentiation begins in the male embryo earlier than in the female, and the sex-differentiating male hormones (chemical controllers of development) in the blood stream shift the female twin's development in the male direction. The result is that the female is to a greater or less degree...
...these cases the fetal circulatory systems remain independent, though proof of this assumption is obviously very hard to obtain. The fertility of these particular female twins would thus be exactly analogous to the situation in human mixed twins, and in species normally bearing litters where there is no common blood supply and where both sexes are usually normal...

With décor by Pierre Roy, French modernist, The Amorous Lion is based on a fable by La Fontaine which begins with this couplet: Love, love, when you invade our hearts, That moment common sense departs. Lichine patterned Francesca da Rimini after an episode in Dante, just as Tchaikovsky used Dante as the basis for the tone poem which is the ballet's music...
