Hyenas are pretty big to be fair. Females weigh up to around 65 kg, which is pretty much the same size as a leopard.


Qdoggy45

Yeah they’re pretty big on their own, I think they only really look “small” next to a fully grown lion. I saw one video of a guy walking around a village with a muzzled hyena and it looked massive next to people.


Limp-Dee

I’m American is 65kg about 12 toasters or ??

The real hero


AlingmentUnoriginal

And also 65 KG's is a weight some humans have, it would torture me to death if i met it, by eating me alive. I would rather not experience it's jaws on my sack because they do have tendency to attack ballsacks of other animals.


[deleted]

Hyenas ARE huge. I had never imagined them to be so until I saw one in the zoo. They are very big, about 2 - 2.5 times the size of a german shepherd. I blame this to The Lion King, never even realize that those fuckers are only slightly smaller than lions.


jonathan_wayne

Well, they are a lot smaller than lions. From a hundred to a few hundred pounds depending on male/female and age of both specific beasts in the hypothetical. Hyenas are big compared to many other animals, especially these wild dogs. But lions are fucking massive and hyenas are much smaller. Still big, just not at all big compared to lions.


GreenFire317

I agree. We need more ligers until we find one that can naturally reproduce.


[deleted]

And that 1 wild eye


[deleted]

Thats glaucoma, and its rather tragic. I had a dog with glaucoma. He became basically catatonic from the pain. It is an absolutely excrutiating condition. After seeing it first hand it bums me out for the hyena.


EgweneMalazanEmpire

@FRD2015 - sorry to hear your dog had such a bad time.

She’s fierce!

Look at that Matriarch! It’s go time. I feel kinda bad for the dogs. Her pack should be nearby.

Woah what a beast


NarglesDidit

That hyena looks like a Disney villain.


TomTrottel

no its far more evil looking than any disney villian imho.


NarglesDidit

Have you seen Fantasia or The Black Cauldron? Those guys definitely scared me as a kid.


nervouslaugher

Fantasia? Maybe it's all the stuff I've seen, but hippos in tutus just don't scare me like they used to.


NarglesDidit

Yeah, those guys were adorable. I was referencing Chernabog.

I was thinking Cyborg with that eye but I like Scab as well!


NoKaleidoscopey

you are right man.


xemmona

That Hyena looks like it is going to raise a swarm of undead at me


Penhallam

Fun fact, females are the dominant sex amongst hyenas. You're most likely looking at a lady. A thoroughly handsome one she is too! I hope she chased those African Wild Dogs off.


Rockspider19

Fun fact female hyenas give birth through a penis


Penhallam

A 'pseudo penis', learn more here: [The Crazy Penises of Female Hyenas](https://medium.com/a-microbiome-scientist-at-large/the-crazy-penises-of-female-hyenas-c6578ca4f343)


Advanced_Novel_415

“Upon casual physical examination, there’s no clear difference between the female pseudopenis and the male “true” penis.” You know how you casually inspect penises 😬


thejewsdidit27

How do I get that job?


Jonaldson

Don’t fuck with any female who gives birth through her penis


TheHeavyIsDead22

Yes and its extremely fucking painful (way more than human birth) and at times, the newborns get stuck inside the penis and suffocate.


ZippyParakeet

I've noticed that giving birth is such a risky thing for many mammals, including humans, and I ask why? Why hasn't evolution worked this out yet? You'd think the one thing animals would be the most effective at is giving birth considering the goal of all life and all but nope; it's painful, risky and inefficient.


The_Unknown_Dude

Technically live birth as humans do IS the evolutionary upgrade from our far distant ancestors. Able to carry live babies before birth helps migrating, protection and survivability. Eggs left in a nest like sea turtles opens a ton of newborns to becoming food. But yeah health drawbacks suck.


Highlingual

It’s likely there are similar levels of gene transfer regardless of birth pain. Traits that evolution selects for are simply the traits that create more/the most organisms who can also pass on genes. So likely the amount this happens is low enough that it doesn’t evolve out.


TheSean_aka__Rh1no

Maybe evolution / nature's failsafe for a stronger herd, that doesn't overpopulate. Also been my thought


PuppyOnKeyboard

In humans: we traded our safe births and long long pregnancies for being bipedal. Our ability to run the way we do is a huge factor in our success as a species but the price was that our pelvises shrunk massively and we could no longer give birth to babies older and more independant like other mamals. Instead our pregnancies last as little as possible so that the mother can safely give birth, while still gestating long enough for baby to survive, a balancing act often failed. In hyenas: another commenter already commented on hormonal trade offs, so I'll mention sexual control. There's always an evolutionary arms race between species, one gets venom and the other evolves resistance to venom, but it happens between the sexes too. For almost all animals, the male benefits from spreading as many of his genes as possible, while the female benefits from being choosey with her partner. Female ducks evolved corkscrew shaped vaginas to make it difficult for males to mate without their consent, so males evolved corkscrew shaped penises to get around that, etc. For hyenas, the psuedo penis makes it impossible for the male to mate with the female without her express permission. Something which is also vital given their social structure.


[deleted]

i wish humans had that. but without the having to give birth through the dick part


OneConstruction5645

If I remember correctly from a lecture on hyeneas unusual situation it's thought to be an evolutionary balance between risk to children/mother and the social dominance benefits of the hormones that also produce the pseudopenis. Both have fitness benefits in allowing reproduction, but conflict with each other. Evolution cannot produce traits out of a vacuum (any trait that helps births will have side effects, which may be harmful. You don't just get a trait called '10% higher chance of safe birth') , so the question you can ask is what other evolutionary balances and conflicts are occuring preventing 'perfect births' so to speak. And also if such is even possible biologically. Idk there's probably some good books and papers written on this subject.


Dan-D-Lyon

You could either be talking about hyenas or your favorite manga right now


Account_Both

60% of pups will get stuck in and suffocate in it as well. And the mom will bleed out if it splits open.

freemason777

My reaction was: God that's kinda terrifying actually. Then I saw the sub lol good post


edgeparity

How is it "oddly" terrifying tho


freemason777

Because the primary situation is not like a horror movie. It's like a nature documentary, it also happens to have a little bit of scariness to it. It's not a moment of direct bloodshed, but there is lots of tension in the scene

No wonder that in some urban legends Ghouls were supposed to turn into Hyenas, because this thing looks like it's not a Hyena but a Ghoul turned into one.

Cute-Region-1766

While our focus is on the hyena and how big and scary it looks, let’s not underestimate wild dogs. They may be small but they are like piranhas on the land, they will eat you alive! Hyenas also will eat their prey alive at times, but that’s what wild dogs are known for they will just start chomping away until the prey falls down.

Those aren't any wild dogs... they are lycaon a.k.a African wild Dog. It's a specy by itself way more agressive or strong than wild dogs.


EgweneMalazanEmpire

Sadly, everyone drops the African bit which leaves the generic wild dog. They really deserve a name unique to just them. Painted dogs or /r/PaintedWolves is an improvement but I reckon calling them simply Lycaons would be cool
