Yes, and weirdly, hyenas didn't get the sharp, retractable claws that all true cats possess. I wonder what advantage this adaptation gave them.

You can probably keep retractable claws sharper? Easier too sneack without hard claws touching ground?

Retractable claws stay sharper and make better weapons. The non-retractable kind give you better traction when running.

They couldn't kill each other easier?
