My guess would be the extra function call overhead, along with the ELP
instrumentation overhead.  ELP results are never all that precise, in my
opinion, but they're useful to give you a general overview of where time
is spent, since it adds about the same overhead to all functions.

In my Firefox, it's shown as "Extant Carnivora species [Show]".  Do you
have Javascript switched on or something?  It's a JS table toggle or
something.

It's not that page, it on the Ocelot page.  In eww, it's the large table
that starts with "Extant Carnivora species" in the heading.
