Damn it, Psychopomf. I went this long without wondering about griffon reproduction but now it's going to bug me. I'm assuming live birth. The mammal parts are in the rear. Of course, this is assuming they are a magical biological mashup rather then a distinct species that just happens to look like a mashup of two different species. What's the chance of hippogriffs?

A lot of girls has 'that side' to them regardless of their 'periods.'. It happens when people keep trying to live life emotionally, which is a stereotype many girls actually try to follow.

I think only humans have menstrual cycles rather than estrous cycles.

Before that griffon baker appeared in that baking contest episode, I figured that a griffon would naturally be mean due to being made of two different carnivorous creatures. Lions are said to be courageous, and griffons are said to be loyal. So I thought Gilda was mean to the Ponies because they did not stand up to her. Rainbow Dash tends to show off bravery and represents the Element of Loyalty, so that might have been why Gilda had viewed Rainbow Dash as a friend.

Wasn't there a RagingSemi fic with this idea?

@1351764 Mythology gives them nests and eggs; specifically, nests made out of gold and single-egg clutches. As for "how female griffin parts work," it's more of a two-part puzzle: lions and eagles. Without getting into too much detail (which you can Wikipedia if you *really* care), male eagles don't have an external penis, they just have an orifice called a cloaca---same as female eagles. Copulation happens when these two orifices meet, and stuff passes from male to female. Now, lions have a much more mammalian mating ritual on account of them being mammals. I say all that to preface the thought-hypothesis that griffins have a hybrid reproductive system: one that takes parts from both lions and eagles. Since they're lions on that half, I'd say that they're endowed like lions on the outside, at the very least. That best accommodates for the shapes of their legs/hips (as that's how real-life nature works). Cloacas would work, barring some odd posturing for quadrupeds (due to the shape and size), but... at the same time, if they're half-eagle, half-lion, I'd think it makes more sense for a reproductive system that incorporates *some* part of the lions. Also... males with cloacas lead to ridiculously fast mating rituals (a matter of seconds on *average*, not "on a bad night"), and that doesn't exactly lend itself to a strong family structure among sapient beings. The main reason I thought this entire train of thought through in the first place was for trying to comprehend their society from a sociobiological standpoint. Basically, long sessions of sex that are potentially enjoyable to both parties lends itself better to the idea of love and relationships. Which I think, from an evolutionary standpoint, would be more beneficial to an intelligent species. However, that only accounts for the outside. Obviously, since the female is laying an egg instead of giving live birth, something different than "lion" has to be going on in there. That's where my hybrid idea comes into play: instead of a uterus, I imagine there being an oviduct on the other side of the cervix. That means that the cervix acts somewhat like a cloaca, true, but the vagina on the outside acts as a buffer to allow, basically, for both male and female griffins to keep with the "eagle in front, lion in back" paradigm. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go drink myself into oblivion because I've actually thought this whole thing through to this point.
