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 ]
The basic reason is allometry. Bite force scales with weight, but the relationship isn't quite linear. So a theoretical animal with a bite force of 100 Newtons and a mass of 1 kilogram would have a BFQ of 100 N/kg^(2/3). If it had a bite force of 400 Newtons, and weighed 8 kg, it would still have a BFQ of 100 N/kg^(2/3).
Analyses of a near-complete skull referred to Didelphodon show that it had an unusually high bite force quotient (i.e. bite force relative to body size) among Mesozoic mammals, suggesting a durophagous diet.

It has a bite force at the canine tip of 155.4 Newton and a bite force quotient at the canine tip of 136.7. [26] Distribution and habitat. Captive sand cat.
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 ...

A 2005 study showed that the thylacine had a high bite force quotient of 166, which was similar to that of most quolls, indicating that it may have been able to hunt larger prey relative to its body size. [82]
