The way their bodies react to light cycles is pretty wild. When the days get shorter, it&#39;s not just about the melatonin—it&#39;s about the whole system shutting down. The testes don&#39;t just shrink, they basically go dormant. It&#39;s like the body is saying, &#34;Not the time for babies.&#34; But it&#39;s not just about size. The function is gone too. You don&#39;t just get smaller organs, you get less active ones. It&#39;s a full system reset. I&#39;ve seen it in action, and it&#39;s not just a little change. It&#39;s a complete shift.</html></oembed>
