*an otherwise feminine spotted hyena with a flat chest and an absolutely massive cock and balls that can only be described as "hyper" appears onscreen, smiling and waving*

"Makena here! Gosh, everyone's been so nice and sweet to me, faving that picture of me. It's really flattering, y'know? Although I'm sure that most of you are mainly interested in what's between my legs."

*she winks, and hefts her enormous balls and phallus up with both hands*

"Bet you think I'm a herm or something with a package like this, huh? Well, guess again! I'm 100% female, mind and body."

*she lets her ball drop to the floor with a heavy thud*

"See, I'm a spotted hyena, and we don't have your usual sexual dimorphism (I just learned that word!). Hyena girls are bigger, stronger, and tougher than the boys..."

*she drags a slender, nerdy-looking hyena boy over from offscreen, towering over him by at least a foot of height*

"And we're in charge! Ain't that right?"

*she grins, baring her teeth at the boy, who nods emphatically.*

"And all that's the case, even though we've got this thing with the balls and cock going on! See, female hyenas have WAY more androgens (those are what you'd call "male" hormones, except it's silly because females have 'em, too) than the guys, which means we've got more muscle mass, and we're more aggressive and sexually assertive than the boys."

*she continues talking, while putting her arms over the slender fella and leaning on him*

"So, we're in charge! Male hyenas are the bottom rung, even the best male still has to submit a bit to the lowest, most pathetic girl. And this big ol' thing i've got between my legs is part of the reason: it means that the girls control when and how sex happens, no matter what!"

*she pushes the boy down on his knees, and hefts her balls onto his back, forcing him to hold them up*

"Nobody's really sure why and how it started, if you wanna talk about evolution and junk. Buuuut: this isn't [i]really[/i] a cock and balls. Scientists call is a pseudo-penis, and it's formed from what would be the clitoris on a girl of any other species. Unlike those, though, a hyena girl has a slit in her 'clit'..."

*she giggles at the rhyme, as the boy struggles to support her balls, adjusting his position a little*

"...all the stuff you'd think opens up between the [i]labia[/i] on other girls, goes through our clit-cock. We piss through it, we give birth through it, and we have sex through it. That's why we're in charge: nothing goes in there unless we want it to."

*the boy is now on his hands as well as his knees, struggling to not fall*

"An' there's more to it. See, cocks play an important part in hyena socialization- we use 'em for greeting."

*she drags the boy up from under her balls, making him stand up next to her, baring her teeth at him*

"[i]Say hi[/i]."

*he nods, and leans down, sniffing and licking her balls and cock in a blatantly submissive manner, while his own erection obviously grows, bulging in his tight pants.*

"You'll notice that he's getting hard, but I'm not. It's 'cause he's submissive: we greet each other by paying attention to each other's genitals, and getting an erection is a sign that you're not dominant."

*she leans down to sniff and lick his bulge through his pants*

"This may [i]seem[/i] sexual, but it really isn't. Even straight hyenas will lick and get hard for the same sex. Anyway, like I said, getting hard means submission. If I met up with a hyena who was more important than me (even my big sister or my mom) it'd be appropriate for me to get hard. It's not 'cause I find 'em hot..."

*the boy laughs and mumbles something*

"Sh-shut up! Like I said, it's just a greeting. Hyenas can get hard or soft at will."

*she pushes the boy down to the ground again, and sits on him just as he tries to get to his knees, eliciting a whimpering protest*

"So, that's a big part of it. Hyena girls can get hard just like the boys, and we can control when sex happens 'cause we can invert our cocks. Y'know, taking them inside our bodies. As far as these..."

*she lifts her balls off the ground and drops them over the head of the boy, forcing him flat against the floor*

"They're [i]technically[/i] formed from what would be the labia in any other species, but y'know, like with the rest of a hyena girl's parts, they're different from other species. Really, they're just a lot of fat, with not much else going on inside, kinda like boobs."

*the boy struggles to get out, flailing and kicking weakly*

"That means they're not as sensitive as a guy's balls, which is good, 'cause I'd have some big targets otherwise!"

*she stands and lifts her balls, stooping to kiss the boy on his head as he gets up*

"Thanks for helping me demonstrate. And that's another thing- hyenas are real sociable, and we have a bigger emphasis on working together to solve problems than other species. In some ways, we're smarter than primates!"

*she looks to the male, and they exchange a series of nods and short gestures, before he stands and walks offscreen*

"We're really good at nonverbal communication, making things understood without making any sounds. Sometimes we have problems: if dominant gals meet up, they're more likely to fight and argue than get anything done."

*she smiles, and taps her chin in thought*

"Um, was there anything else? Well, I guess there's the laugh. That cackling sound we make? That's when we're upset or nervous, or just pissed off. So, if you see a pair of big ol' hyena moms laughing at each other, watch out!"

*the boy returns from off-screen, dragging three smaller hyenas behind him by the wrist*

"Oh, good! So, there are other hyena species, aside from spotted hyenas."

*she grabs one of them, a girl with large ears and long, shaggy dark brown fur over most of her body, except for short fur with black and white stripes on her arms and legs, and gray fur on her face that turns tan towards her neck.*

"Brown hyenas are from the southern end of Africa. There aren't as many of them as other kinds of hyenas, an' they have a very different social structure from spotted hyenas: dominant males, and a social structure more like wolves."

*the brown girl struggles in Makena's grasp, growling and cursing*

"Spotted hyenas are more like baboons and other primates in our group structure, is the thing. Oh, and these little weirdos actually have the guts to challenge spotted hyenas when we run into each other, even though they're all a lot smaller and scrawnier."

*she lets the girl go, and grabs another of the struggling hyenas from the hands of her male friend- this one even scrawnier, with whitish fur and dark brown markings, including stripes over his whole body.*

"This guy's a striped hyena. They're the smallest kind of hyena, and aren't too sociable, sticking to pairs or being loners most of the time."

*he growls and struggles, but Makena has a firm grip on his long mane*

"They come from northern africa and the middle east, mostly. And spotted hyenas can be found lots of places where our striped and brown kin live, but we mostly stick to the middle of Africa. For a long time, striped hyenas were more famous than we were, but I think we're much more interesting! We're the only hyenas that have the whole thing with androgens and pseudo-penises, and all that striped hyenas have going for 'em is a lot of myths and urban legends."

*she grabs the striped hyena by the head and shows his smaller jaw*

"Would you believe some people used to think they were vampires or evil genies? Some people think that a striped hyena's body parts have magical powers, but we're not about to go chopping this guy up to test it."

*she lets him go, and more gently pulls the last person from her male companion's grip: an even smaller, jackal-like boy with fur like the striped hyena. She cradles him gently against her, although he's barely tall enough to come up to her belly, and she has to lean down*

"This cutie's an aardwolf. They're hyenids, but not hyenas- in the same family as hyenas, but not the same subfamily. They're insectivores for the most part, mainly eating termites, an' they have specialized tongues."

*the tiny aardwolf licks her cheek, darting out an unusually long and slender tongue*

"See? Aardwolves don't hunt or scavenge- and that's another thing. Although you might have heard that hyenas steal food from other animals or only scavenge food, we're actually really good hunters. Scavening and stealing food is just normal carnivore behavior, ya know?"

*her male friend comes up and cuddles against her and the aardwolf*

"So, I think that covers pretty much everything. Got a question? Leave a comment!"
