Angaran Physiology and Biology Discussion

Yeah, but I was too busy staring at his ass to notice his hands.

I don't think we ever see an angaran woman naked, so it could be that they do have that many mammary glands and the males just don't reflect that trait (since we do see Jaal naked), considering how noticeable the sexual dimorphism is otherwise. I also think the number of kids might often seem a bit inflated because they call people brothers and sisters who might be children of some of their other mothers? But that's just conjecture.

Since we're already discussing angara, did they ever explain why the angara seem to have many mothers, but only one father? Possible cultural reasons I came up with is that the angara used to be a harem culture (of the one husband/multiple wives sort) but only kept certain traits of that as they shed that idea, one of which was that it's normal to have many female attachment figures growing up. Another reason could be that they don't value the father's input into the children's education as much and that's why they don't need many fathers (or really any). I guess it could be that fathers are more likely to work and women more likely to stay at home, but I really didn't see any angara house-wives (could be another old left-over of some former gender disparity). Also, Jaal said angara share their "parents", so... I'm confused, lol.

What does Angaran skin feel like, are they previously aquatic mammals (mammal like, w/e) or are they land dwelling?

All animals that have control over their bioelectric properties are aquatic dwelling animals, so this is supported I guess.

Baby angara learning how to control their bioelectrity tho @_@

Baby angara in general 

whanzephruseke The popular theory is that they have multiple children during one birth, given how large anagaran families are

Many mothers don't give birth, they simply share the children it seems. One father helps produce them, but then each female Angara brought into the home becomes a mother to look after them, but most of the males are out fighting, and some females too. Heck their children help fight too.

So if a male Angara and female Angara have 4 kids, and his brother and brother's wife have 4 kids, both females become mothers to them, making it like raising 8 children.

A female Angara scanning Ryder says on the outside they have similar bodies, but the birthing process I'm not sure of since when that human woman has a baby Jaal freaks out a bit.

The Jardaan also might have made the Angara after their own appearance.

If an angaran "goes dark", does he/she die? (not sure if they mention that in the game...)

On the bright side, you won't have as many basement dwelling brooding angaara teenagers. 

To be fair to Jaal, I was also freaking out a bit during that mission, like she was giving birth while being fired on, that's terrifying on a best day. 

Angara may be like playtpi or echnidas, where they 'secrete' milk instead of having breast tissue.
