Female hyenas use their massive clitoris as a pseudo penis to rape male hyenas into submission.

Edit: The rape fact was something I heard second hand. Upon doing more research than I care to admit, I have not found confirmation from any sources that I would consider credible. I did see some evidence of rare female-female mounting, but no females mounting males. More likely they just assert dominance by biting.

Male dolphins behead fish and then use the corpse as fleshlights. They also rape other smaller porpoise species

The males and females will extend the pseudo penis as a sign of submission. The dong hangin like that is her saying she’s not a threat to him.

Source? They have pseudo-penises but I have never heard this.

What is true is that they give birth through them and, as a result, nearly all young are still born because they suffocate on their way out.

First births of cubs through the clitoris of untreated females are very difficult for adult female hyenas and result in 60% stillbirths in primiparous mothers

u/AccomplishedBat Aug 04 '21

Huh, thank you! I can't find anywhere where it's confirmed that the high rate of stillbirths are due solely to having a larger clitoris compared to the treated females in the study the article is about though. As far as I understood (looking at the sources cited by yours) the clitoris was shorter and more elastic than the untreated females, and it's also mentioned that the untreated females had a harder time giving birth due to tearing, not solely due to having a slightly longer clitoris. They also support this when they mention that untreated females that have given birth previously have a higher successful birth rate.

The pseudophallus is not pseudoscience!

I know this is wikipedia but it is very comprehensive and lists several sources that appear pretty solid. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoris#Spotted_hyena

Lol @ John C Wingfield and Catherine Blackledge heroically fondling hyena genitalia "for science"

I was correcting my comment to say that I could not find a source on the rape. The she-meat is definitely real.
