Zookeepers in Japan have abandoned a years-long attempt to have two spotted hyenas mate and reproduce as both turned out to be male.
The Maruyama zoo in Sapporo, northern Japan, said in a statement this week that it was given the animals as a “male and female couple” in October 2010 from a zoo in the South Korean city of Daejon.
“We have attempted to house them together for breeding many times but they often fought against each other and never engaged themselves in breeding behaviour,” the statement said.

To be fair - the female hyena’s clitoris is the same size and shape as the male’s penis. And are you going to get close enough to something with jaws that can crush steel to check carefully?

Gay Hyenas: what will they think of next! On the other hand, while I know it could just me, somehow though, just somehow, I suspect global warming is part of this problem!
(On the plus side, I bet those Gay Hyenas could get a marriage license in Boulder County now!)

One National Geographic program that includes hyenas is all it takes to know that.
You point out differences not similarities.
And it is the differences than one remembers.

Call Qbozo and inform him that even the hyenas have not ‘evolved’ their queer quotient position.

At least in the U.S. under Obama they could get married.
