  Unlike most land mammals, whale testicles are not located in an external scrotum. Instead, they are located internally, within the abdominal cavity, near the kidneys.

  The size of whale testicles varies greatly between species. Some species, such as the right whale, have exceptionally large testicles, weighing up to a ton each. This is thought to be related to sperm competition in these promiscuous mating species.

    yes that is one large, loud, flammable fish that certainly has warm blood and gives live birth and lactates. We shall name it after the yet to be observed massive and majestic balls it will most certainly have somewhere in its belly.

    They’re called sperm whales because of the spermaceti organ, which is probably used to make them loud as fuck, and which contains a liquid which whalers mistook for sperm.

        Imagine the sound when they have an orgasm. Announcing to the planet that they’re getting it on. No kid would be safe from the sound of their parents having sex and vice versa.
