How do Southern right whales mate?

During mating multiple males will court, pet and rub themselves against the female to be able to mate with her. Southern Right Whales are polygamous and the females can have up to 7 males in one mating session. The males have huge te**es (2.5m in length and 500kg each) and long prehensile (able to move) pen*ses.
