The scrotum of an animal that has been caught in the barbed wire of a fence and lost


The scrotum is an anatomical male reproductive structure that consists of a suspended sack of skin and smooth muscle that is dual-chambered, present in most terrestrial male mammals and located under the penis. One testis is typically lower than the other, which functions to avoid compression in the event of impact. The perineal raphe is a small, vertical, slightly raised ridge of scrotal skin under which scrotal septum exists. It appears as a thin longitudinal line that runs front to back over the entire scrotum. The scrotum contains the external spermatic fascia, testes, epididymis, ductus deferens. Stream-lined, aquatic mammals such as whales and seals typically lack an external scrotum. It is a distention of the perineum and carries some abdominal tissues into its cavity including the testicular artery, testicular vein and pampinform plexus. In humans and some other mammals, the scrotum becomes covered with pubic hair at puberty.
