Crocs have immense force biting down- but it's very easy to hold their mouths shut. Even using an elastic band could keep their mouths shut

Grizzly, Brown, and Kodiak are all the same species just different regions of where they are found. They wouldn't vary that much.

Wasn't it revealed that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had the most powerful bite of all time. I can't recall the psi though.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Strongest of any land animal. Deinosuchus and Megalodon were stronger.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Estimated, they do not have the muscle tissue nor a live specimen to test it. Also, the hippo was either an estimate or the female.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They've been able to study skull development from adolescence and have examples of ligament attachment. It's a very solid estimate.

That actually seem kinda wimpy for the T. Rex. I imagined, like, 30,000 or more

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I might be using the wrong term. The bite force is 12,800 pounds. Now that I think of it the PSI is closer to 35,000.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've seen a doc on this before. Long time ago but crocs are not 7000+ psi. I'd like a link to where you got that if you would please?

9 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

from Dr. Brady Bar? :D

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

According to a 2012 National Geographic, the hardest biter is saltwater crocodiles, with a bite force of 3,700 PSI >Link>

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

"If you scale the results up to 20-footers, you get estimates of 7,700 pounds" that article maybe where they got it from.

I used to have a pet alligator snapping turtle. I found him as a baby, not much bigger than a quarter or half dollar coin. 1/2

2/3 We built a pond in our backyard, and would fill it with goldfish. as he got larger, we'd just buy old fish that go on sale and freeze it

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

3/3 and toss in the frozen fish, since he'd crush it in one bite anyways. One day it rained heavily, the pond overflooded, and he escaped.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

4/4 he escaped at the size of a large trashcan lid, and we lived a couple blocks form the Colorado river. probably lives there alone still.
