they both show up as for animals/plants in my jp->en dictionaries. According to the monolingual japanese dictionary I just checked to make sure 雌 was originally used to refer to hens and 牝 for cows

「雌」はめんどりの意から、生物のめすの意。「牝」はもと牛のめすの意から、動物のめすの意。

I learned the word in a fantasy book referring to a female dragon and they used the hen one 雌… maybe because if fantasy biology follows real biology, dragons are oviparous would also have cloacas idk it’s interesting

I just fell down a rabbit hole and I learned that there are viviparous reptiles that give birth to live young instead of laying eggs

Indeed it is! It leads to a new round to open the said, though. Was it intentional, I wonder :sweat_smile:?

Ah, damn. You wrote that just as I realized it and edited it. You were faster than my edit though, so I’ll admit defeat.
