Bad Things Come of Small Packages

George Costanza warned us about the cold causing shrinkage. Recently a team of scientists has found that the size of polar bear genitals is on the wane. The researchers worry that the dwindling members could hinder the bears' already meager reproduction rate and endanger the species. The scientists examined the preserved genitalia of 55 male and 44 female east Greenland polar bears collected between 1999 and 2002. They found that males with higher levels of organohalogens, pollutantsthat the bears ingest when eating seal blubber and that can act like hormones, had smaller testicles and bacula (or penis bones). Ovary size and weight also decreased with higher levels of these pollutants. In case you were wondering, the average polar bear testicles measured were three inches across, and the average penis bone was almost seven inches long.
