Na'vi Mating, Biologically

[Rikimaru]

Alright, well I'm sure we all know that the part of the Na'vi mating process involves the attaching of queues together to create a spiritual link between two Na'vi. However, it is stated somewhere on the internet (i forget, okay), that there still remains a biological part to this process of mating that James Cameron decided to leave out entirely.
I have speculated as to how this biological process would work. James Cameron said himself that it is entirely possible for Jake, as a male Na'vi to hold the eggs of his and Neytiri's children in his mouth! If it need come to that though, which I highly doubt. Either way, JC is basically stating that anything could be possible.

In the same way as humans. Tsahaylu isn't a form of reproduction. They probably make tsahaylu while mating (imagine feeling your partner's thoughts and feelings as well!...) but they reproduce similarly to other species.

they're aliens-anything is possible

Excuse my crude level of thinking, but I had the strangest idea after finding that information about Jake possibly being the "pregnant" one of the couple. What if the Na'vi gender-specific genitalia was switched around so that it was opposite to that of humans? Sorry for the very gross image.

I doubt it, since females still have breasts (not to mention, technically, wouldn't the gender which carries the baby always be the female?), so if it was the other way around, Jake would still have a 'male' avatar body.

Actually the breasts have no reproductive function for the Na'vi body. They're not placental animals.

I think they produce eggs. Then the male carries it around for several months or so. And when the baby comes out of the egg, the Navi female then takes care of the baby.HAHAHA!

My second point remains though. There's no specific definition of female AFAIK, but I would guess that the one that carries the foetus would be considered female.

I doubt they lay eggs, that's a reptilian/avian trait that doesn't appear on any other species on Earth. The fact that most Na'vi couples have 2-3 children (it says in the survival guide) also does not imply eggs, which would normally (although not always) produce more in most species.

James Cameron has mentioned Na'vi... reproduction.. in interviews before, which is where I got my original point.

Well there was this one interview were JC talked about Jake's blue balls so I'm quite sure he has the male genitalia. :P

lol man. I know I think strangely but I just had to share it. Neytiri could possibly have a .....you know lol. It would ruin the imaginations of many.
