    Both elephants and hyenas do share many similarities and things in common:
    1. Both are really smart mammals.
    2. Both share the same hierarchy society.
    3. Both are social animals living in large social groups.
    4. Both animals are have the higher ranking dominant female as the leader of the group.
    5. Both males from the respective species are kicked out of the groups when they reach the age of puberty by seeking out in bachelor groups with other outcast males.
    6. The dominant alfa queens of both species take charge and higher ranks in everything.
    7. There can also be a strong sisterhood dynamic among female elephants and hyenas as they stick together in groups forever by developing a strong bonds like powerhouse womans and queens.

    • @diegoquezada3193

      Point 5 is where they differ from Elephants, most males actually exile themselves for better mating opportunities, they aren't forced out most by their mother most of the times, there also have been cases of males actually remaining in their clan into adulthood. Not to mention that Spotted Hyena societal structure is more based on rank, males actually can become the leaders of their clans if they are the youngest offspring at the time of a matriarch's death, however once they become adults they generally exile themselves.

    • @nojorooney
      @nojorooney 3 месяца назад +1

      Hyena society is matrilineal and matrilocal, not matriarchal, meaning that usually females stay within the clan and the rank of a hyena is determined by the rank of their mother regardless of their gender.
      A male hyena that chooses to stay in the clan will automatically outrank any female that his mother outranked with the exception of his siblings. But they will usually leave to have better access to mating opportunities with non related females, where they are immediately bottom rank in the new clan as they have no family members for them to inherit a rank.
      And even then, if brothers or cousins leave together, they will often support each other and will team up to harass and bully high ranking hyenas in the new clan, including females.
      Male dominant clans have actually been recorded a few times before.
