![]() ![]() These adorable little guys were only discovered in 2005, and dwell on the island of Madagascar. They can actually be a variety of colors, including black, red, white, or any combination of these! 4: Northern Giant Mouse LemurĪnother animal that has a winning spot on our list is the Northern Giant Mouse Lemur. Fun fact: these little guys aren’t always golden, despite their name. This cute little fluff ball is packing testicles that make up a whopping 3% of his body size, winning him the top spot on the list of rodent testicles. In terms of testicle size compared to overall body size, the Golden Hamster ( also known as the Syrian Hamster) is one of those - in the rodent world he is the winner of this contest! While he’s a little guy compared to most other animals, his cojones tell a very different tale.Ĭompared to the Right Whale’s giant testes that only make up 1-2% of his total body size, the Golden Hamster has him beat. While the Right Whale and the Elephant have some of the largest testes on earth, there are other species that give them a run for their money. It would only make sense for an animal to have the testes to match such a giant body and long lifespan, right? 3: Golden/Syrian Hamsterįunnily enough, some of the animals on this list aren’t as big as you might expect. ![]() Although they don’t reach true “bull” status until around 35 years of age, these guys reach sexual maturity between 10 and 14 years old and can live up to the age of 80 in captivity. Male Elephants carry around a lot of weight as it is, with their testicles adding to that by up to 10 pounds. We all know that Elephants are the largest of land’s animals, but did you know that they also have giant testicles? They actually have the biggest testicles of all the land mammals, and rightly so! It wouldn’t be very fair for an animal weighing up to 15,000 pounds to come in anything other than first when it comes to the battle of the testes, but it seems that mother nature was aware of that when creating the male Elephant’s anatomy. It’s no wonder these guys are so popular with the ladies! 2: Elephant In the animal kingdom, large testicles are often a big part of winning over potential mates. ![]() So, how big are they, really? The testicles of the Right Whale can weigh over 1,100 pounds and are a whopping 2.5 feet in diameter - they actually hold the Guiness Book of World Records title for biggest testes on earth! While it’s true that in relation to his size these are not all that big, the Right Whale still wins the competition based on sheer mass alone. Even the Blue Whale, the largest living being on earth, pales in comparison to the mighty cojones that the Right Whale is packing - his testicles are 10 times bigger than the Blue Whale’s! So, which animals do you think should make this list? Any ideas?
