Giraffe
Giraffa camelopardalis
77 cm
Maximum flaccid penis length of normal adult males, quoted as a reference value in a 2020 case report that cites Hall-Martin, Skinner & Hopkins 1978 (not read). Measuring method and n unknown.
The giraffe's penis is fibro-elastic and has an S-bend. At the tip is a long urethral process of the kind goats have.
Margin note: The tip looks borrowed from a goat, though as far as anyone knows the goat has never asked for it back.
