Nature really said "pick a lane, fellas" with hyenas. Female spotted hyenas are basically running the show with testosterone levels that would make a bodybuilder jealous, plus they've got pseudo-penises (yes, really) that make them larger and more aggressive than the males. So here we have Tom getting absolutely wrecked by a female hyena while the male hyenas are just... vibing in the background, probably contemplating their life choices.

It's one of nature's wildest plot twists—female hyenas are so masculinized by prenatal androgens that they're basically the alpha predators of the savanna matriarchy. The males? They're at the bottom of the social hierarchy, getting bullied at dinner time and living their best submissive lives. Evolution took one look at traditional gender roles and said "let's flip this entire script."
