===External appearance=== In [[seasonal breeder]]s, the weight of the testes often increases during the breeding season.<ref name="Johnson2012">{{cite book|author=A.D.

The right testicle is often smaller than the left.<ref name=anatomy>{{cite book|last=Mukasa-Mugerwa|first=E.|title=The Camel (Camelus dromedarius): A Bibliographical Review|pages=11β3}}</ref> In [[shark]]s, the testicle on the right side is usually larger. In many bird and mammal species, the left may be larger. [[Fish_anatomy#Testes|Fish usually have two testes]] of a similar size. The primitive [[jawless fish]] have only a single testis, located in the midline of the body, although this forms from the fusion of paired structures in the embryo.<ref name=VB/>
