the adult male reproductive system forms the same as most mammals with the seminiferous tubular compartment containing the sertoli cells and an adluminal compartment that contains the leydig cells. the leydig cells produce testosterone, which maintains libido and creates secondary sex characteristics such as the genital tubercle and penis. the sertoli cells triggers the production of anti-mullerian duct hormone, which absorbs the mullerian duct. in an adult male rabbit, the sheath of the penis is cylinder-like and can be extruded as early as two months of age. the scrotal sacs lay lateral to the penis and contain epididymal fat pads which protect the testes. between 10-14 weeks, the testes descend and are able to retract into the pelvic cavity in order to thermoregulate. furthermore, the secondary sex characteristics, such as the testes, are complex and secrete many compounds. these compounds includes fructose, citric acid, minerals, and a uniquely high amount of catalase.

thereafter, the development of the internal, and external reproductive organs is determined by hormones produced by certain fetal gonads (ovaries or testes) and the cells' response to them. the initial appearance of the fetal genitalia looks basically feminine: a pair of "urogenital folds" with a small protuberance in the middle, and the urethra behind the protuberance. if the fetus has testes, and if the testes produce testosterone, and if the cells of the genitals respond to the testosterone, the outer urogenital folds swell and fuse in the midline to produce the scrotum; the protuberance grows larger and straighter to form the penis; the inner urogenital swellings grow, wrap around the penis, and fuse in the midline to form the penile urethra.
