Huntha

Huntha (kwa Kiingereza: hermaphrodite, kutokana na neno la Kigiriki ἑρμαφρόδιτος, hermaphroditos) ni mmea au mnyama mwenye jinsia mbili^[1].

Kwa mimea hali hiyo ndiyo ya kawaida, kumbe kwa wanyama ni 0.7%.

Inakadiriwa kuna spishi 65,000 tu kati ya 8,600,000 hivi^[2] za wanyama huntha^[3], lakini si binadamu, hata kama huyo amezaliwa pengine na viungo vya uzazi visivyoeleweka. Kinachotambulisha jinsia ya mtu ni chembeuzi Y kuwepo (mwanamume) au kutokuwepo (mwanamke).
