    BLUE WHALE PENIS

    When it comes to penis size the blue whale's penis is the largest of any known living animal.

    In order to provide the whale with a more streamlined design when swimming and to protect its sexual organs from injury the blue whale's penis is often hidden within a genital slit during normal daily activities and becomes exposed during sexual intercourse.

    Penis size for the blue whale can vary depending on genetics and the overall size of the whale with the average penis length estimated to be between 8 – 10 ft. long.

    Interestingly although their penis is relatively long the average diameter of the penis is estimated to be about 1 ft., with larger whales growing between 15 – 18 inches in diameter.

    In terms of weight, the estimated weight of a blue whale's penis is assumed to be between 390 – 990 lbs. depending on the penises overall size.

    The testicles are also relatively large weighing in at up to 150 lbs. per testicle with smaller testicles weighing 100 lbs or less.

    During sexual intercourse, as much as 30 – 40 pints of sperm may be ejaculated from a blue whale's penis in a single session.
