The Tasmanian devil has the most powerful bite relative to body size of any living mammalian carnivore, with a Bite Force Quotient of 181 and exerting a canine bite force of 553 N (124 lb f). [ 41 ] [ 42 ] The jaw can open to 75–80 degrees, allowing the devil to generate the large amount of power to tear meat and crush bones [ 38 ...
The BFQ is calculated as the regression of the quotient of an animal's bite force in newtons divided by its body mass in kilograms. [1] The BFQ was first applied by Wroe et al. (2005) in a paper comparing bite forces, body masses and prey size in a range of living and extinct mammalian carnivores, later expanded on by Christiansen & Wroe (2007 ...
The tiger quoll has the second-most powerful bite relative to body size of any living mammalian carnivore, exerting a force of 153 N (34 lb f). [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Range and ecology
A study in 2012 by Karl Bates and Peter Falkingham found that Tyrannosaurus had the most powerful bite of any terrestrial animal that has ever lived, finding an adult Tyrannosaurus could have exerted 35,000 to 57,000 N (7,868 to 12,814 lbf) of force in the back teeth. [207] [208] [209] Even higher estimates were made by Mason B. Meers in 2003. [48]
In 2005 Therrien and colleagues estimated the relative bite force of theropods and found that Giganotosaurus and related taxa had adaptations for capturing and bringing down prey by delivering powerful bites, whereas tyrannosaurs had adaptations for resisting torsional stress and crushing bones.
And one bite contains enough venom to k*ll 100 human beings. But on the flip side, only a few people have ever been bitten, and they were able to receive prompt medical care, so they all survived.
