Leo has a cloaca. A cloaca is a slit on the base of his tail that stores his penis. Because his penis is protected he has no foreskin. His cloaca produces slick which is like a natural lube. When aroused the penis will slide from his cloaca. Because he is a turtle his anatomy is slightly different than a humans, leaving his penis with a spade-like tip. His penis is larger than a humans because of his species.

The Kraang were a long-forgotten myth, having left the planet after making an error in their plans and mutating a significant portion of the human population. It’s been hundreds of years since then, and mutants are considered their own species. Humans are far in between and considered critically endangered, but because of their ability to learn the same skills mutants can, such as writing and talking, the idea of breeding them to help gain numbers is seen as highly immoral. This same thought process is why, despite some mutants keeping humans as pets for their own safety, an interspecies relationship with one isn’t considered zoophilia. At least, it isn’t considered zoophilia as long as the human and communicate in some way and verbally consent. If a human is feral and unsocialized, then it is illegal.

The same logic means humans aren’t allowed to be hunted or eaten or farmed, because despite most of them being feral, they have the mental skills needed to function as more of a “person” than an “animal,” so these things would not only be horrific but also murder. This causes a lot of debate between mutants, with some of them wanting humans to not be classified as animals at all and instead more of an ancestor or subcategory of mutants, complete with the same rights they get by law. On the other hand, some mutants see that a human's status is better and safer for them, allowing the animals to be coddled and cared for to limit a large population drop.

And others, like the turtles and Splinter, see a bit of both. While a world where humans were granted citizenship would be nice, it’s unlikely. So, instead, they’ll settle for what they have and do what they can for any human they may find.

Donnie has a pet human named April. Raph has a pet human named Casey and a pet tortoise named Spike. Splinter cares for a wild human named Karai, but she is technically not a pet, he just leaves out food for her. Mikey doesn't have a pet human, but he does have a non-mutated leopard gecko he named Mondo
