If so, how the heck is that even possible?

No sweets i think u got confused when they talked about hyena's clitoris and it's birth .
Hyena is unique in the sense that it is the only one of the mammals , whose clitoris tears when it gives child birth , though this is painful , it wards off other male hyenas untill it heals .. at which time the hyenas pup has grown and the mother hyena is ready to mate again .
One more point , developmentally both the clitoris and the penis arise from the same tissue , wheras under the influence of the testosterone the penis gets bigger , under the influence of estrogen the clitoris is smaller .
But both the clitoris and penis are equally sensitive and have prepuce , and that is why when a female stimulates her clitoris she gets an orgasm ...the same way a man reaches orgasm by stimulating his penis .
Child birth occurs via the vaginal tract which is a continuation tract from the uterus where a child or a pup grows...
Cheerio
(p.s if ur too young to know about sexual stimulation am sorry)

No, the clitoris is the equivalent of the penis. Hyena females, like all mammals, have a separate opening for the reproductive system, as opposed to males where the opening for the excretory system is also the opening for the reproductive system. The female opening is the vestibule of the vagina, which forms part of the birth canal from the uterus when a fetus is being born.
