All organisms that reproduce sexually have sperm - Humans, whales, birds, alligators, platypus's, and what have you.

Note though that the "sperm" of a sperm whale's name is not its semen but "spermacetti", an oily material in the whale's head, once quite valuable commercially. The misnomer came from early whalers' ignorance.
