Octopuses, like other cephalopods, have a unique reproductive system that differs from mammals. Male octopuses do not have testes or external reproductive organs like balls. Instead, they have a specialized arm called a hectocotylus that stores and transfers sperm during mating.
The hectocotylus is a modified arm that is used to pass packets of sperm, called spermatophores, to the female during mating. The male octopus uses this specialized appendage to fertilize the female's eggs internally. Once the male transfers the sperm, he typically dies shortly after mating.
Therefore, while octopuses do not have balls in the traditional sense, they do have a unique reproductive system that allows them to reproduce and pass on their genetic material to the next generation.
