Hyenas have one of the most extreme and dangerous births in the animal kingdom due to their unusual reproductive anatomy.
Females have an organ that, at first glance, looks like a p¬ene, but is actually an extremely elongated clit¬oris, known as a pseudo-p¬ene. Furthermore, its v¬aginal lips are fused, forming a structure similar to an es¬crotum. During birth, the young must pass through this narrow duct, which often causes tears and fatal complications3s for both the mother and the calf. In fact, many mu3r3n pups suffocated before birth and a high percentage of first-time females do not survive the process. Even mating is a challenge, as the male must maneuver with extreme precision to achieve copulation. This combination of factors, added to their matriarchal society where females dominate males, makes the reproduction of hyenas one of the most extraordinary and difficult in the animal world.
