Spotted Hyena: female dominance
S1 • E18 Jul 1, 2008
The female hyena is aggressive and quick to attack. She is much larger and dominates her male counterparts with an iron fist. Her anatomy is especially unusual for a female- she has a pseudo-penis and extraordinarily high levels of testosterone. Because of her abnormal sexual organs copulation is usually a complicated affair. The penis also makes giving birth extremely painful which often results in death of both mother and cubs.
