hyenas, terrifying and excellently organized predators of the savannah
also surprisingly docile and like neck scritches and have a tail chasing compulsion
if you don’t think hyenas are great then you’re objectively wrong
Tumblr love to talk about how the male cat has sharp barbs along its penis, but I don’t know why we never mention that female hyenas have sex and give birth through what is, more or less, a penis.
SERIOUSLY I JUST
The clitoris “extends away from the body in a sleek and slender arc, measuring, on average, over 17 cm from root to tip. Just like a penis, [it] is fully erectile
The urethra and vagina of the female spotted hyena exit through the clitoris, allowing the females to urinate, copulate and give birth through this organ. This trait makes mating more laborious for the male than in other mammals, and also makes attempts to rape females futile.
while all males lick the clitorises of dominant females, the females will not lick the penises of males because males are considered to be of lowest rank
HYENAS, MAN.
