i don't know anything about testicles, but i did do a science fair project about cetaceans and deep diving. when whales and dolphins dive into deep water for long periods of time, their blood nearly boils from the pressure and so forth. this is fine for the cetaceans, but dangerous for their fetuses. they have specific adaptations to protect their fetuses from the damaging effects of boiling hot blood. god help me it's been a long time ago, but look into it. maybe that'll give you some answers.
