A hyena is one of the animals in the African savanna that have extremely powerful jaws. As scavengers, they have to live on scraps of meat and the carcasses of animals that were already fed on by other predators, which may include lions, leopards, et al. As such, by the time hyenas get to the remains, there is very little meat in their food. As a result, hyenas have developed extremely strong jaws that can break or crush bones, and a digestive system digest the marrow within the bones.
