Were the Hyenas mostly male or female?

[FlipMode]

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?

I always thought the majority were males unless proven (by voice etc) otherwise. But looking at the main 3 Hyenas in the Film, Shenzi is quite easy to spot but in "be prepared" all of the marching Hyenas looked the same. I think they left it to the viewer's imagination, using the same design for each Hyena as a metaphor.

They must have copied and pasted the same Hyena.. Seeing as how many they are in the Be Prepared scene, the animators couldn’t possibly draw them all individually.

I've always thought of them to be mostly male
But Shenzi couldn't be the only female, that would just be silly

[SophieCub]

Most are male as you can hear at Long Live the King bit ^^

I... thought it was a near equal mix of males and females.

[YFWE]

As much as I'd like to say that it was pretty much a generally even mix, the chorus of voices in "Be Prepared" suggest otherwise, so it's hard to say. My overall guess is mostly male, but females certainly aren't scarce either.

i always thought they were mostly male. perhaps a vote would make it easier to tell people thoughts on this.

[SodaPopSimba]

I always assumed it was a mix.

Maybe my ears were fooling me..

But don't they sound feminine in the cut reprise? Or possibly it's just their "Hyena" voices..Or maybe those are different Hyenas?

Honestly to me, their voices in BP seem a bit gender neutral.
