That's where you're messing up. Those are pentacoyotes, not quadferrets. The contact side between two polygonimals mating is actually obscured, so the actual number of sides in a copulation configuration is the sum of the sides of all involved polygonimals - 2. Therefore the octorca could not be two mating quadferrets, but could be two pentacoyotes, or a chain of duodugongs.

Polygonal phylogeny

Yes, googling offers nothing, but I'm probably just being goofed on

Try the Polygoogle. The regular non-euclidian google has a history of censorship when it comes to polygonal phylogeny

I didn't even think to recommend Poogle. Thank you!

I still think about this thread on a near daily basis 👍
