How much do hyenas eat a day?

Hyenas typically consume about 10 to 15% of their body weight in food each day, which can range from 7 to 15 pounds (3 to 7 kilograms) depending on the species and individual size. Their diet primarily consists of carrion, but they also hunt and scavenge for small to medium-sized animals. In times of scarcity, they can go several days without eating and then consume large quantities when food is available.
