Oysters can change from one gender to another and back again.

Oysters are a protandric species, which means that they don't remain male or female over the course of their lifetime. Instead, they change genders. With reproductive organs that contain both eggs and sperm, oysters first release sperm when they mature before switching over to eggs once they get a little older.
