The bite force of one adult American alligator [19] 10 4 N 16.5 kN The bite force of a 5.2 m (17 ft) saltwater crocodile [20] 18 kN The estimated bite force of a 6.1 m (20 ft) adult great white shark [21] 25 kN Approximate force applied by the motors of a Tesla Model S during maximal acceleration [22] 25.5 to 34.5 kN The estimated bite force of ...
Bite force quotient (BFQ) is a numerical value commonly used to represent the bite force of an animal adjusted for its body mass, while also taking factors like the allometry effects. 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 ]
In 2008, a team of scientists led by S. Wroe conducted an experiment to determine the bite force of the great white shark, using a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) long specimen, and then isometrically scaled the results for its maximum size and the conservative minimum and maximum body mass of megalodon. They placed the bite force of the latter between ...
It describes a research that lists a specimen of Dunkleosteus as having a bite force of 7,400 N, and then proceeds to estimate a bite force of a small adult specimen Megalodon as being 108,514 to 182,201 newtons (24,395 to 40,960 lbf), in a Megalodon's posterior bite, which it then compares to the 18,216 newtons (4,095 lbf) bite force of the ...
In the seas millions of years ago, whales were regularly hunted.Megalodons, bus-sized sharks, are believed to have been dominant ocean predators some 20 to 3.6 million years ago.
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal and a baleen whale.Reaching a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 m (98 ft) and weighing up to 199 t (196 long tons; 219 short tons), it is the largest animal known ever to have existed.
Durophagy is the eating behavior of animals that consume hard-shelled or exoskeleton-bearing organisms, such as corals, shelled mollusks, or crabs. [1] It is mostly used to describe fish , but is also used when describing reptiles , [ 2 ] including fossil turtles, [ 3 ] placodonts and invertebrates, as well as "bone-crushing" mammalian ...
Based on specimen QM F10113, the bite force of Kronosaurus is estimated to be between 16,000 to 23,000 newtons (3,600 to 5,170 lbf). [124] Still based on the same specimen, a 2014 Foffa et al. (2014) reestimates the bite force at between 15,000 to 27,000 newtons (3,370 to 6,070 lbf), corresponding to its close Jurassic relative Pliosaurus kevani .
