first not being able to cloak in water is a tech thing if one could do it all would and they need some kind of a weakness in their cloak.
As far as females read the books, females hunt as well but in the books are larger than males and pick their mates based on hunting trophies and their own status. So basically a female with top standing will pick multiple males to mate with, however the clans rule, female's play a large role in the governing of the clans so they don't hunt as much. Hunting brings personal standing, honor, and where you sit with the ladies while also bolstering your clans standing vs other clans. Now what that standing dictates is hunting grounds as in first choice and so forth but also territory, some is worth more than others. Also one can challenge another for the right for specific hunting grounds. Normally more than one clan is on each ship especially alien hunting ships. In the books and comic books they don't have a temple on a planet they have a ship that flies around with a queen on bored tied up like yo see in avp forced to lay eggs and then they are loaded automatically onto pod ships and sent to planets with wild life. The planets with the toughest life is the most desired. Ritual combat between high ranking clans-a hero of each clan fights each other for the right to pick their planet. Also in the books you see where clans come together to capture queens on alien planets to be used to seed other worlds with specific wild life.
