For those curious, from Wikipedia:
Giving birth is difficult for female hyenas, as the females give birth through their narrow clitoris, and spotted hyena cubs are the largest carnivoran young relative to their mothers’ weight. During parturition, the clitoris ruptures to facilitate the passage of the young, and may take weeks to heal.

I’m with the other person… if it was intelligent design… it was some world creation game and we’re in a speed run save.
Or we have the equivalent of some Spore player who likes to make fucked up creatures for the sake of it

It is incorrect, but the amount of possibilities is indeed very great
wot if they’re running on hexagons rather than squares? HM? Or 3D dodecahedrons?..wait do those tile?
Love the conversations on the WTF Evolution tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/wtfevolution
Abrahamic* to be precise. They’re all the same asshole, just different names. (And, even that was listed from earlier cultures’ traditions, FFS. Lazy, unoriginal, and fucking stupid? That tracks for religion all around, really.)
I love how the gen 1 creation story basically reads like schoolboys one upping their friends about how great their dad is.
“Yeah. Well, my god made the world and everything in it! and he took a nap on. The seventh day!!!”
Swap out “schoolboys” with “old fear-mongering pervs”, and you’re even closer to the historical truth.
well, they were old fearmongering pervs, no doubt.
I was just referring to the simple fact that the creation account was a cloned copy of all the others… just wit that squeaky “Yeah well my dad’s twice the fireman your dad is” vibe. Sad they used their supposed power of their god to justify rampant invasions and genocide. (which they failed at the genocide because they were too busy raping…)
They didn’t fail at genocide. That’s not an absolute, it’s a process. They may’ve failed at outright extinction most often (though some scattered empires of old would point out that they were destroyed by religion), but genocide is an inalienable aspect of every single religion known to mankind. Right up there with molesting children and blatantly plagiarizing “sacred” text whole cloth from other grifter “holy” men.
They failed the first time around (“invasion” of the Canaanite lands, where they were told to genocide their neighbors.)
Fun fact, there’s a metaphorical dick-measuring contest in the bible, 1 Kings 18, 21 onwards (had to google it). Basically, Elijah wanted to prove GAHD was greater than Baal. Long story short, GAHD proved HE could light firewood that’s been dumped with water 4 times, while Baal was busy ignoring his followers from dawn to midday.
I uh… I was expecting it to be something like they eat a percentage of their own babies or something. Fuck that. Sounds like it would feel like giving birth through a penis.
Fun fact: Female hyenas have a pseudopenis that prolapses into a dick that they rape their brothers with when they’re young
I don’t feel like I’m having fun here…
Sometimes their hyena pseudo-penises fully rip off when they give birth, causing them to bleed to death!
😭😭😭

I remember trying to check this years ago, and finding that female hyena’s don’t try to mate with each other, nor do they try to mount males. So I’m curious as to where you found that info.
It sounds very much like that. Maybe worse.
I was expecting it to be something like they eat a percentage of their own babies or something.
Well… If you insist.

“Gestation lasts 21 days, and devils give birth to 20–30 young standing up … As there are only four nipples in the pouch, competition is fierce, and few newborns survive.”
One guess as to what happens to the spares.
This might help.
Female Hyena’s have what is called a pseudo-penis. Which is used for sex and urination, as well as giving birth.
Obviously giving birth splits it open fucks your whole year / life up.
My only question is: why would they evolve like that?
Or alternatively, what the fuck were they before that gave birth like this?
Majority of male hyenas had a docking fetish, and evolution facilitated their needs.
Probably just “regular” mammals.
Mammals have a lot of weird dick things. Some bats have gone from penetrative sex back to just like touching genitals because their dicks are so huge they literally don’t fit anymore.
So having a impractically huge dick was more important for some reason.
Guess something similar happened with hyenas vis-a-vis having become matriarchal at some point.
Because they didn’t die like that.

RIP young Pimp Clitoris With UGS
Whoosh* What am I missing?
Evolution, WHY!!?
“Because fuck you all” - Evolution
WTF?
Hyenas are matriarchals and they fucking deserve it.
Edit: They deserve their social position, not being ripped apart if that wasn’t clear
It absolutely wasn’t clear lol
The original message and the explanation were a rollercoaster for me. Not going to lie
I think I got whiplash.
Interesting how
colloquiallyconnotatively “earn it” is more positive than “deserve it”I debated between the edit and “earn it” but I figured at this point the edit would be better.
Hey, the cartoon dog did warn us.
Hyenas got shafted. And, shafted.
It’s one of my go-to arguments against intelligent design.
That, or God’s an arsehole, which all things considered…
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― EpicurusThat’s a fire quote
Here’s another:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Isiah 45:7
In the land of intellectual adulting, however, people who know their history know the cult of YHWY, originally a single god from what was the Canaanite pantheon, clear evidence of which is still present in even the Old Testament, subsumed the mythological roles of protector and catastrophe, hero and villain, creator and destroyer in its path to monotheism.
From what i’ve saw from videos on religious archaeology, the “definitive” yaweh is an amalgamation of 2 or 3 gods into one, which explains why his personality varies wildly from text to text. Vengeful asshole here, incompetent god of war against iron chariots, all loving elsewhere
And the polar opposite of that is anyone over 12 years old using “fire” like you’ve done. Please fucking stop.
We try not to do that kind of bullying on most of the fediverse.
fire fediverse 🔥🔥
I’m sorry, I had to.
This comment is not very fire.
Why does this upset you so badly? Priorities, man. Priorities.
Or God is a ten year old who is playing around with a world generating machine and has since forgot about us.
We’re just one of the thousands of world saves he placed on a memory card and threw into the closet and forgot about.
To be fair, if you look at the pale blue dot imagery, it really captures how difficult it would be to find us looking down in the universal sandbox. We might have simply been overlooked.
Overlooked? … in that scenario, we’re just an unknown accident … it’s like that tiny piece of mold at the bottom of the sink drain
Fucking zoom-in limitation and broken notification system
Bed bug mating practices are probably up there too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination
Yea wth
The process is detrimental to the female’s health. It creates an open wound which impairs the female until it heals, and is susceptible to infection. The injection of sperm and ejaculatory fluids into the hemocoel can also trigger an immune reaction in the female. Bed bugs, which reproduce solely by traumatic insemination, have evolved a pair of sperm-receptacles, known as the spermalege. It has been suggested that the spermalege reduces the direct damage to the female bed bug during traumatic insemination
Yep I’m out before one of you furries makes a cartoon out of this.
Well that one’s cute.
To understand it better how is the aspect of the clitoris of a female Hyena, as said, they give birth through a penis. Certainly hardcore.
As context to your context:
The genitalia of the female closely resembles that of the male; the clitoris is shaped and positioned like a penis, a pseudo-penis, and is capable of erection. The female also possesses no external vagina (vaginal opening), as the labia are fused to form a pseudo-scrotum. The pseudo-penis is traversed to its tip by a central urogenital canal, through which the female urinates, copulates and gives birth. (Source)
scientists state that female spotted hyenas are the **only ** non-intersex female mammals devoid of an external vaginal opening, and whose sexual anatomy is distinct from usual intersex cases (source)
Because hardly any other animal would give birth through a clitoris. That was the weird part for me because I knew about the peniform clitorises but not the missing external vaginas.
Why cut off the last few panels of the comic?
Nothing is cut off? The only thing missing is one bonus panel.
Oh, I always thought that was part of the comic.
Well this discussion certainly ruined my love of The Lion King.
I regret clicking into the comments to find the answer
Awww, pugger
ummm, no
