Pregnant spotted hyena with erection

Oil on canvas, 50x75cm

Quite incredibly, the female spotted hyena can have sex, urinate and give birth through her 7-inch penile-like clitoris. She also has three times more testosterone in her body than their male counterparts. And she can have an erection! I’m jealous.

This painting is part of Monkey Business, an exhibition inspired by the diverse expressions of biological sex and sexual behaviour in the animal kingdom.
