Oviduct and ovaries are normally paired structures, but in birds and some cartilaginous fishes, one or the other side fails to develop (together with the corresponding ovary), and only one functional oviduct can be found.

Gate vs "back" gate.
Here's my house set up: The front garden has no gate. The whole garden is given over to tarmac. There is a path (quite narrow) past the extension, which accommodates the kitchen. The path ends, and a gate stands between the kitchen and the border fence. Going further takes you into the backyard/garden. My wife calls this the back gate. There is no front gate (as stated earlier), so it's simply the gate.

What’s something that used to be everywhere in the UK and has just vanished without anyone mentioning it?
I found an old copy of the Yellow Pages. Looking through it made me think – when did you last see one of those TV repair shops? Used to be one on every high street. What else has just quietly disappeared?

Known as skyquakes, the Barisal guns (and global equivalents like mistpoeffers) are unexplained, thunderous booms heard near waterfronts since the 19th century. Theories blame breaking waves, methane vents, or micro-quakes, but despite worldwide reports, their exact cause remains a mystery.
