Female kangaroos can postpone a (stop an already in process) pregnancy for a long time if they have a joey in the pouch already. And when they finally decide to go ahead and go on with the pregnancy (by releasing hormones I believe), each pocket in the pouch produces milk for the newborn and the older (but still young) joey (and could also be pregnant at that time as well... just waiting for the right time to have yet another).

Female hyenas produce extra hormones that make their clitoris (which is also the birth canal) grow much longer. It's about 7 inches giving the illusion that they have a penis. It's very tricky for males to be able to insert their penis into the female because he has to bend his penis backwards and upwards to fit it into a very small, but long hole. If they are successful there is an extremely high death rate of mothers because pushing a 2 pound baby out usually causes tearing and the mother bleeds to death.
