Sex?• On female rats, just posterior to the
last pair of teats, you will find the urinary aperture and behind that the vaginal orifice which is in a small depression called the vulva.
• On males, you will find a large pair of scrotal sacs which contain testes. Just anterior to the scrotal sacs is the prepuce, which is a bulge of skin surrounding the penis. The end of the penis has a urogenital orifice, where both urine and sperm exit.
Can you tell which one is the male?
