We have already seen that chimps do not take very long over coitus; a number of other
mammals are even
swifter. Slijper has noted that bulls, rams, and stags copulate "with astonishing rapidity" and
that the whole
process lasts no more than a few seconds. Horses manage a few minutes. Whales too are said
to copulate very
rapidly, a circumstance no doubt conditioned by their ungainly mass. In some descriptions of
whale coitus the
great beasts are said to dive, then to swim towards each other at great speed, "then to surface
vertically and to
copulate belly to belly." In this act it is often the case that the entire thorax and part of the
abdomen protrudes
out of the water. Slijper reports eye-witness accounts of such whale copulations. Horizontal
copulations in
whales is also described, a mode allowing coitus to last up to 30 seconds.
