7 animals that can change their gender

Clownfish: These brightly colored fish live in social groups with a strict hierarchy. Only the largest female reproduces, while the next biggest male ensures her safety.

Wrasses: Many wrasse species exhibit what's called protogynous hermaphroditism. They start life as females and can later change into males.

Parrotfish: These colorful reef fish exhibit sequential hermaphrodites with a twist. They can transition from female to male and even back to female again throughout their lifespan

Sea Bass: Some sea bass species, like the black sea bass, can switch between sexes. While the reasons for sex change in sea bass are less understood compared to clownfish or wrasses.

Moray Eels: In some moray eel species, the largest female can transform into a male if there are no other males present in the group.

Gobies: These small fish exhibit a fascinating phenomenon called protandry. They start life as males and then transition into females later in their lifespan.

Flatworms: These simple invertebrates are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs at the same time.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it highlights the fascinating diversity of reproductive strategies in the animal kingdom.
