Well this discussion certainly ruined my love of The Lion King.

To understand it better how is the aspect of the clitoris of a female Hyena, as said, they give birth through a penis. Certainly hardcore.

As context to your context:

The genitalia of the female closely resembles that of the male; the clitoris is shaped and positioned like a penis, a pseudo-penis, and is capable of erection. The female also possesses no external vagina (vaginal opening), as the labia are fused to form a pseudo-scrotum. The pseudo-penis is traversed to its tip by a central urogenital canal, through which the female urinates, copulates and gives birth. (Source)

scientists state that female spotted hyenas are the **only ** non-intersex female mammals devoid of an external vaginal opening, and whose sexual anatomy is distinct from usual intersex cases (source)

Because hardly any other animal would give birth through a clitoris. That was the weird part for me because I knew about the peniform clitorises but not the missing external vaginas.

Why cut off the last few panels of the comic?

Nothing is cut off? The only thing missing is one bonus panel.

Oh, I always thought that was part of the comic.
