That’s the fun part, we don’t know actually! There are some theories though. Among others:
Could be for females to better select their mates since you simply cannot fuck without their consent. On that note, do you know about duck genitals?
Others think it could be camouflage since females, especially cubs, get attacked more often. Did I mention that females also have a fake scrotum?
There’s also the idea that the penis is for social purposes. Females can get an erection and inspecting as well as licking each others erections is a normal greeting in hyena land! Presenting your erection is a submissive thing though.
If you dive deep enough into the rabbit hole, you could be the first to discover the truth!
Echidnas have weird dicks, as well. Spiny, and 4-headed. The heads function two at a time, and alternate - though I’m not sure the frequency. Didn’t read that far cause there was a picture and I was like “holy shit.”
That does not help. How in the name of Darwin did this happen?

Genuinely enjoyed your responses, I guess hyenas and platypus are things we’ll never understand
