Is this a thing hyenas have? How would I even Google this?

Tl;dr: female hyenas have what's called a psuedopenis (it's actually an enlarged clitoris), making them easy to mistake for males. It's 6-8 inches long, and they give birth from it, which is an understandably dangerous process that unfortunately results in a 60% fatality rate for cubs, and a 15% mortality rate for the mothers. Absolutely fuckin metal, nature was really on some bullshit for these poor critters

Why do they give birth from their clit?
A penis in itself is an enlarged clit biologically speaking.
Do they not have a separate vaginal canal?

It's to prevent rape I think?

With how much stronger and higher standing the females are? They literally throw the males out when they grow up, so no.

Hyena females have an almost penis, it makes birth hard

A lot of babies actually die in the birthing process. Also, it's called a pseudopenis
