Despite its important role in the ecosystems in which its lives, data on the internal morphology of <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>.\u00a0<jats:italic>barbara<\/jats:italic> remains scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to provide knowledge regarding the anatomy of the male reproductive system of this species to improve understanding of its reproduction to inform its conservation. We studied seven specimens who had died after being run over. The specimens were dissected for the evaluation of the reproductive system, which comprised a globular scrotum; a small pendulum covered with light\u2010coloured hair; a pair of testicles of firm consistency and ellipsoid shape and suspended in the scrotum by the spermatic cord; a paired duct system; an ampoule of the deferens duct and prostate constituting the set of attached glands; a urethra divided into pelvic and penile portions; a penis with a baculum having a novel \u201cC\u201d shaped apex; and a prepuce. Microscopically, the testicular parenchyma consisted of seminiferous tubules separated by intertubular spaces formed by loose connective tissue, fibrocytes, Leydig cells, and blood and lymph vessels. The epididymis was surrounded by a capsule of dense connective tissue and extended to form septa. The baculum was microscopically classified as a compact bone containing several bony lamellae with osteocytes and osteoblasts. The macro and microscopic findings were generally similar to those of domestic carnivores, with some notable differences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12791","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,26]],"date-time":"2022-02-26T10:24:50Z","timestamp":1645871090000},"page":"390-399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Morphology of the male reproductive tract of <i>Eira barbara<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Thamara Cozzi","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Animal Health and Production in the Amazon of the University Federal Rural da Amaz\u00f4nia.
