🐾 FEMALE SPOTTED HYENAS: INHERITED POWER & PRIVILEGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ THE ISSUE
A 30-year study of 2,743 wild spotted hyenas in Tanzania found that female cubs inherit their social rank from their mothers.

🧬 Key Insight:
Social position can be inherited without being purely genetic → creating reproductive inequality across generations.
🎯 PRELIMS BOOSTER
🔹 Crocuta crocuta → Spotted Hyena
🔹 Matrilineal society → rank passes through maternal line
🔹 Females dominate males
🔹 Ngorongoro Crater → Tanzania
🔹 Leibniz-IZW • Science Advances
🔹 Faecal DNA → paternity analysis
📝 MAINS | GS-III
🔸 Social vs genetic inheritance
🔸 Animal behaviour & evolutionary biology
🔸 Female–female competition
🔸 Darwin–Bateman paradigm
