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.

And are you going to get close enough to something with jaws that can crush steel to check carefully? It's probably not prohibitively expensive to obtain a blood sample and give to a DNA lab for analysis (a yDNA test.) Otherwise what's the difference between a zoo and a bunch of pits in the ground where random creatures are thrown in?

Well it was a fools errand to begin with. Who thought you could breed two males anyway?

Nothing left to do but get the liberal judges involved.

I laughed. And so, I assume, did the hyenas.
Seriously, though, you’d like to think it wouldn’t have taken them four years to look underneath and see what plumbing they had.

Bad taxidermy at the museum?

Well, again, you’d think they’d have taken that into consideration.

Now don't be too hard on the zookeepers. After all, would you want to be the one who had to confirm their gender? Have you ever seen the jaws on those things? Yow!

That second premolar and second molar on the left uppers have serious furcations.
No doubt painful, probably loose. Need to be tied to a door handle and have the door swung shut, soon.
