- Abstract
GLO:W52/01dec21:fee2441-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): . gl The society of spotted hyenas ( I Crocuta crocuta i ) is often depicted as a textbook example of uncontested female supremacy. Hyena mothers are the fiercest and most reliable allies; they support their young - daughters and sons - against members of lower-ranking matrilines and thereby ensure they hold the social rank right below their own. Male hyenas are portrayed as pushovers that must show deference to hyper-aggressive females if they wish to mate or feed.
