![]() Type 5-6 then lands somewhere between “soft blobs with clear-cut edges,” and fluffy, raggedy edged bits. It ranges from Type 1-hard, nut-like poos-to Type 7, which is pure liquid. The Bristol Stool Scale, in case you are not familiar, was developed in 1997 by the Bristol Royal Infirmary as a tool to help patients and their clinicians better communicate fecal appearance and consistency. Matthew Savoca, have studied whale defecation and hope to publish their research soon “The whale poop I have been around typically is a five or six on the Bristol Stool Scale so it's not as though they're passing blocks the size of a refrigerator or something,” Savoca says. Nick Pyenson, curator of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian and author of Spying on Whales, and Stanford University biology postdoctoral fellow Dr. Fortunately, poop research is non-invasive and legal. Now an anus is the end of a poop chute, and from an engineering perspective, the size of the anus is directed by the size of its contents. (Males have two slits: one each for the anal opening and the penis.) Today few of these giants are left, so we can view this measure as a whale butthole upper bound. That slit covers both her genitalia and anus, and while whalers “didn't spend a lot of time fishing around inside of the slits,” he says, they did take measurements from the anus to the clitoris, or the length of the slit, which for the largest whales measured four to five feet. “If you were to just take a blue whale and roll it over-as if that were easy to do-the female is going to have a slit, like right at the base of her tail,” Leslie says. ![]() Though whalers sometimes did note an especially impressive penis. There was-and still is- simply no interest in documenting its absolute size, or its capacity for super flatulence.” Whalers were much more concerned with how much blood, meat, and blubber the whale could provide. Marine mammal illustrator and American Cetacean Society President Uko Gorter agrees, “The rectum or anus of whales escaped scientific scrutiny for centuries. “And to be honest,” Leslie says, “there wasn't a whole lot of interest in anuses.” And by “a lot” Leslie refers to a whaling industry that killed hundreds of thousands of blue whales, likely restructured marine ecosystems, and nearly drove them extinct. Matt Leslie, a visiting assistant professor of biology at Swarthmore College. “Most of the data that we have on large whale species comes from back in the day when we used to kill a lot of them,” says Dr. Once convinced our request was not a joke, the situation improved only slightly. One admitted that at first, he assumed his colleagues were messing with him. The first obstacle getting an answer to these pressing questions was persuading scientists to answer interview requests. Naturally, our next thought was, “Is this true?” and “How big is a blue whale’s anus, anyway?" When we saw the memes scoring the size of a blue whale’s anus second to some of the year’s most reviled politicians, our first thought was that it was deliciously funny.
