 I expect the males do have a penis or how do they reproduce? I've never 
 really gone up to one and snuck a look, though, so I've no idea what it 
 looks like;  perhaps you mean it is entirely retracted into the body 
 when not in use i.e. they don't have a visible, external penis.

 Seriously, animated cartoon animals almost invariably have a few 
 outawrd characterists of the supposed animal morphed onto a human
 body -- often with a large, soft-featured infant head -- that
 therafer stands upright and moves exactly like a human, and not
 at all like the mouse, duck, pig, bird, rabbit  etc they are 
 supposed to be.  IOTW they are a cartoon of a child in an animal suit
