In A Nutshell
If there’s anything Kindergarten Cop taught us, it’s that boys have joysticks and girls have
vaginas. Except when they don’t. The female
hyena’s clitoris is so large, it’s essentially a
penis (and larger than all the boys’ junk).


The Whole Bushel
The female spotted hyena runs things in the
cackle. Males are submissive, cautious, and
fearful. For hyenas, size matters, and the
female’s clitoris is larger than any male’s
penis.

The female has no external vagina. She
urinates and mates through her penis-like
shaft—which, by the way, is capable of an
erection. Even more confusing, a sac of fat
and tissue, covered in thick hair, hangs
behind the 18-centimeter (7 in) clitoris like
some cruel mockery of the male’s scrotum.
Naturally, mating with two joysticks is difficult.
Males need a great deal of practice to get
things right. After the male submits to the
female—which includes comparing sizes—she
will roll the clitoris up to create an entrance
for the male’s penis, which he must
somehow curve upward and inward to make
sex possible.


If he succeeds in impregnating the female,
she’ll have to face a reality men can only
joke about with winced expressions: giving
birth through a penis.

During pregnancy, the female hyena will
pump her babies (male and female) with
extra doses of androgen, which is associated
with masculine aggression. This ensures that
the massive clitoris–cycle continues and
gives males the boost they need to be able to
mate with macho females.

The cubs don’t leave Mom unscathed on
their way out. A 1-kilogram (2 lb) cub has to
fit through a 2.5-centimeter (1 in) birth canal.

At best, the clitoris is torn, causing a wound
that takes weeks to heal. At worst, birth can
be fatal. Around 20 percent of mothers die
during childbirth.

No one knows for sure why the female
spotted hyena developed this trait. But it
does grant her authority in hyena society on
the African savannah, where the female leads the hunt, feast, and social life.
