    I’m not sure about this. Elephants can sit down like toddlers and climb over fences, one leg at a time. Their internal testicles enables this flexibility. If they had external testicles they would be handicapped in the range of their movement as 6 ton of elephant would not want sit on them.
    I would suggest there would be other biological methods of cooling their testicles. Whales have an artery that runs to their tail fins and then continues to the internal testicles. The blood is effectively cooled when it reaches the testicles, thus keeping them at a lower than body temperature.
