Dear all,
We are looking for photos or good drawings of the external view of
female genitals of stranded large whales, when the genital slit is
"naturally" opened after the stranding. We are particularly interested
in sperm whales, but other large whale species may be useful as well. We
would like to have such material only for visual comparisons with our
own material from Greece.
It is astonishing how many photos can be found in the internet for male
whale genitals, but not a single for females.
If anyone can provide a copy of a relevant reference or specific pages
of it with photos or drawings (e.g. Matthews L. H. 1938,// The /Sperm
Whale/, Physeter catodon. Discovery Rep., 17, 93), this would also be a
great help.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Alexandros
PS: You can keep this e-mail in your collection of funny requests that
cetologists may have! :-)
