The most brutal birth in the animal kingdom! 😳💀
Few stories in nature are as shocking as that of the spotted hyena, an animal whose birthing process is, literally, a biological nightmare. Females of this species are not only larger and more dominant than males, but they also possess a reproductive anatomy that is as unusual as it is dangerous.
Instead of a traditional v/\gina, these hyenas have a "pseudop***s," an elongated structure that looks like a p***s, but is actually an extremely enlarged cl****is. And yes, that's where they must give birth.
This passage is so narrow and long that it makes birth a life-threatening challenge. In fact, up to 60% of babies born during their first birth d!e, often from asphyxiation or because they become trapped. But it's not just the babies who are at risk: mothers can also suffer severe tears during the process.
Why does this happen? It's all linked to high testosterone levels in females, which not only gives them that unique organ, but also strength, aggression and absolute control over their matriarchal society.
Another example of how nature sometimes shows no mercy... but always leaves us speechless.
