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 ...
