It turns out, during Lent when fewer meat scraps are available for scavenging hyenas, hyenas quickly switch their diets and start eating more donkey.  I just had to post this, because who would've thought hyenas were so flexible in their eating habits.  Additionally, who would've thought someone would come up with a research question that included both hyenas and Lent:  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120405075232.htm
