Sound #science underpins effective conservation action, and so developing #conservationmanagement tools requires a deep understanding of #animalecology. #Scienceweek. PC: Bobby-Jo Vial 
Where #wildlifemanagement tools rely on natural signals to modify behaviour, they must be underpinned by an understanding of #animalcommunication & cognition. Taronga's @HWConflict collaborates on several projects with @BPCTcamp unravelling African large #carnivore communication
For example, #leopard #scentmarking behaviour (doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…); spotted #hyena latrine-use (doi.org/10.1007/s00265…); #cheetah marking trees (doi.org/10.1111/aje.12…); and scent marking behaviour of #AfricanWildDogs (doi.org/10.1111/eth.12…). PC: Bobby-Jo Vial
Hi Twitter!
I'm Raha.
I was alpha female of the Lemala clan for 12yrs. Now my daughter Timba has taken over.
@HyenaProject asked me to help compile some cool facts about my species.
I thought this was a good idea.
I did a thread in 4 chapters. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: FEMALES ARE BADASS
We invented the ultimate anti-rape device!
We are the only female mammal with no external vaginal opening and our clitoris is elongated to form a 'pseudopenis'.
We mate, urinate and give birth through the pseudopenis.

Our external genitals look like those of males!
Our outer labiae are fused + filled with tissue to form a 'pseudoscrotum' and our pseudopenis looks like a male penis when erected.
Luckily, @HyenaProject created a cool manual to sex us. 👇
