this is not meant to be explicit or inappropriate. my friend's uncle went on a bear-hunting trip in alaska and is now displaying in his house something that he reports to be the "penis bone" (?) of the bear he killed. this is a serious anatomy question. do bears have bones in their penises...? do people or other animals have bones in their penises. help! i'm very curious. thanks!

The male bear has a bone in his penis called a baculum. In a large bear the baculum is about the size of a small cigar, providing the additional stimulation the female requires for induced ovulation.

Raccoons have a biurficated bone in their penis. I'm not sure about bears.

That's just absurd! I mean the uncle, claiming that. And no, people and animals do not have penis "bones". The penis is made up of muscle and tissue.

most of carnivores have one, even seals. Simply have a look at it in Google, searching "penis bone" it is also called baculum.
Extrange but true.
