Were the Hyenas mostly male or female?

Until recently I always thought most of the hyenas seemed male, or at least army styled masculine.
However I was looking at the deleted "Be Prepared" reprise and they sound..Feminine. It's hard to tell though due to the high pitched Hyena-ness of their voices. It would make sense that they're mostly female. Hyena females rule the clans, not males.

Going by the "Long Live the King" chant in the middle of "Be Prepared" I'd guess that they're at least mostly male =)

Hyenas are basically oppsites of lions so it would make sense Males make up most of the clan.

I'd say males, just from the whole Be Prepared chorus itself. :)

Most are male, hyena's have a female matriarch, which is Shenzi in TLK. So I believe there weren't any other females, if there were, they would have been threats to Shenzi.

it would make sense that most be male.... but would that make Shenzi the mommy?

Judging by their voices (when they’re singing) it sounds like they’re mostly males.
But there are extremly many Hyenas.. Shenzi couldn’t have been the mother of all of them? :horrified2:

No. Shensi wouldn't have been the only female hyena in the clan. There be others but with lower ranks. Her, along with some other females would have mating right. The only reason Ed and Banzai were so high ranked is because they were mates or relatives.
