| The reproductive organs of male D. bicornis and C. simum are similar. The junction of the urethra with the urinary bladder is usually more cranial than the junction in R.unicornis. This results in a more developed pelvic urethra in the African rhinos. The prostate surrounds the neck of the blad... |

| Two male reproductive organs were examined. The junction of the bladder and urethra is located on the caudal pelvic brim. All of the accessory sex glands are in close proximity at the neck of the bladder and ventral to the rectum, approximately 5.0 cm cranial to the anal spincter. The paired d... |

| In the rhino the testis is situated extra-abdominally in the usual position and it was decided to use the classic castration approach. A skin incision was made over the ventral aspect of the scrotum, through the parietal tunica vaginalis and the testis was exposed. The one testis was then lifte... |

| The penis of the Perissodactyla has a great thickness. As in Hyrax and Elephas, the preputial opening in Rhinoceros and Tapirus is located far backwards, and the urine is released backwards. In erection the penis always moves forward. In Rhinoceros (Owen 1868) the penis reaches an enormous siz... |
