"Il existe des mammifères énorchides, dont les testicules gardent leur position initiale en arrière des reins, et des exorchides ou phanérorchides dont la descente des testicules est temporaire"
I believe the word "énorchide" may be related to the condition of testicondy where the testicles are normally situated within the body in certain mammals but I can't find an adjective for "énorchide" (or "exorchide"). Can anyone help please?

Mammalian species of the Afrotheria clade—which includes elephants, manatees, cape golden moles and rock hyraxes—instead retain their testicles inside the abdomen in a condition called “testicondy.”

: ''Presenting with' implies a medical condition. This is about their natural anatomy, and the adjective is 'testicond'. But you're right, 'non-scrotal' is better.

Not necessarily a condition but I prefer non-scrotal mamals. Thank you Phil !

Discussion
"Although most mammals have descended scrotal testes, others do not. Some have ‘descended ascrotal’ testes in which the testes emerges from the abdominal wall, but do not move into a scrotum, instead, staying just under the skin, a condition seen in whales, pinnipeds (seals and walruses), sloths, moles, and rhinoceros [24]. Other animals demonstrate ‘testicondy’ in which the testes do not move out of the abdominal cavity and stay close to the kidneys. This group includes the Afrotheria clade of elephants, manatees, and the duck-billed platypus and other monotremes."
"Werdelin and Nilsonne distinguish, therefore, between species with testicles that are 1) descended and scrotal, 2) testicles that are descended but ascrotal, as in the case of seals where the testicles are located subcutaneously, and 3) testicles that are not descended and remain deeply embedded in the body cavity, as in the case of elephants."
