    A wonder more amazing would we find;
    The hyena shews it, of a double kind:
    Varying the sexes in alternate years,
    In one begets, and in another bears. John Dryden, Fables.

    The hyena was indeed well joined with the bever, as having also a bag in those parts, if thereby we understand the hyena adorata, or civet cat. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours.
