I saw a battle between griffons and hyppogryphs. Each race had male and female members involved in the battle. Each member of both races attacked every member of the other race once.

When a male griffon attacked a male hyppogryph, they would swipe with their claws. When a male and a female fought, or two females fought each other, they would bite.

I witnessed 21 pairs swipe, while 34 pairs bit each other. How many male creatures and how many female creatures were fighting?
