HYENA EATS HYUNDAI SONATA HEADREST AT DRIVE-THROUGH WILD ANIMAL PARK
A 90-pound hyena named “Bub” ate a headrest off a late-model Hyundai yesterday at a drive-through
habitat for retired hyenas.
“This is exactly why we always tell folks to keep their windows closed,” said Maynard Phlegming, the manager of the How “Bout Them Hyenas? wild animal park that lies about five miles one direction or another outside of Chueystoke.

“Hyenas love leather–especially from them Korean cars for some reason–and this is what happens when people don’t follow directions,” said Phlegming.
The rear seat passenger was reportedly trying to coax the hyena to move toward the car by holding a ham sandwich out the open window.
“The fella apparently wanted to take
one of them selfies with Bub,” explained Phlegming. “But Bub snatched the headrest instead.”
“It certainly could have been worse,” said Phlegming. “He could have snatched that damned ham sandwich. But people don’t think about that,” he said, shaking his head.
Hyundai did not return a call requesting comment.
