For enthusiasts of nature documentaries, questions about extremes often arise. Which creature reigns supreme in the jungle? Which is the fastest? And, inevitably, which boasts the largest penis?
That distinction belongs to the blue whale, which seems appropriate. As the largest animal on Earth, weighing an astounding 330,000 pounds and stretching 105 feet in length (nearly the size of a basketball court), with a heart as large as a golf cart, the blue whale is proportionally impressive in every aspect. According to Roaring Earth, the whale’s penis averages 8 to 10 feet in length, earning it the title of the ocean’s John Holmes. In fact, some have suggested that sightings of a whale’s penis surfacing have been misinterpreted as sea monsters.
If the sheer size of this Guinness World Record-holding organ leaves you feeling inadequate, consider this: the blue whale’s appendage has an average diameter of 12 inches.
Among land-dwelling creatures, the elephant takes the lead with a penis measuring approximately 6 feet long.
Naturally, these animals are enormous overall. When it comes to proportional penis size, the barnacle reigns supreme. These small crustaceans can extend their penis up to eight times the length of their body.
If unique traits are more fascinating than sheer size, several other species stand out. Alligators possess permanent erections; slugs have penises that protrude from their heads; and bees experience their penis being torn off after mating.
