Pregnant hyena

[ctravih]

actually only tanzanian hyeenas have male genitals

@ctravih

show me a paper that gives any evidence for that, I've read many, many papers and books by famous wildlife scientists that state otherwise. Unless you're refering to a different species of hyena, such as the striped or brown hyena? All female spotted hyenas have masculinized genitals, tanzanian or not.

@baskinps alright my bad, all female hyenas have a false penis, although it does not function as an organ of reproduction

@baskinps i didnt know what the species of hyena were called so i refered to them a tanzanian hyenas, what i meant was not in all species of hyena, does the female hyenas also posses male genetalia.

@ctravih oh cool! I didn't know that. I haven't read too much about the striped or brown hyenas, hard to find stuff on them. I'm a devoted Holekamp fan :) lol
