Do female hyenas dominate the males?
Yes. Hyena communities, called clans, are headed by a female called the matriarch. All the other females in the clan have a distinct role in a hierarchy; just as there is only one matriarch, there is only one female hyena below the matriarch and above all other, and below her is a female hyena subordinate to the hyena beneath the matriarch and above all the others, and so on, until the lowest ranking female is reached-who is still superior to every male in the clan.The reasons for female dominance are not surprising: female hyenas are larger, stronger, and more aggressive than males.

How do you tell a male hyena from a female hyena?
In all rhino species, male and female rhinoceros (or rhinoceroses) are similar; the only way to tell them apart without close inspection is that full-grown males are usually larger than females. This isn't a reliable way to tell the males from females from a distance, since of any two rhinos a larger one might be an older female. More accurately you can tell them apart as with most mammals where the sexes are of similar appearance: by looking at their genitalia.
