Here's a sentence I just had occasion
to read: "Hyenas do not take to eating jackal flesh readily; four
hyenas were reported to take half an hour in eating one." Amazing.
This answers a question I would never have thought to ask. But now I
want to know more. Who reported this? To whom? Is half an hour an
unusually long time to eat a jackal? Compared to normal hyena eating
speed, or some control species' standard jackal consumption rate,
divided by four? Anyway, half an hour doesn't seem all that slow to
polish off a quarter of a jackal.

I should have heeded Dave's warning.
But I didn't.
And now I'm imploring you by all that is holy to remain blissfully ignorant, and DO NOT WIKI HYENA BUTTER.
Especially while eating lunch. Especially if said lunch is a peanut butter sandwich.
