Testes come in all shapes and sizes in the animal kingdom. However, nothing can compare in size to the southern right whale's testes. Each testicle can weigh up to 500kg- 900kg. Each! That's about as heavy as a newborn gray whale or an adult horse! This weight also accounts for about 2% of an adult male southern right whale's body weight. So why on earth would they need such massive testes? Scientists think it has to do with how southern right whales mate.
