Everyone knows Hyenas are the weakest predators of them all.
Bite force studies say different...

Indeed

"The hyaenids seem not to have a markedly stronger
bite than the big hypercarnivorous canids (see Van
Valkenburgh, 1991), such as Canis lupus and Lycaon,
although Crocuta has the highest carnassial and canine
bite forces of any species of comparable size
, and is only
surpassed by much larger ursids and the lion and the tiger."
