Bite force quotient. Bite force quotient (BFQ) is a numerical value commonly used to represent the bite force of an animal, while also taking factors like the animal's size into account. 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 bite force at the carnassials showed a similar trend to the canines. A predator's largest prey size is strongly influenced by its biomechanical limits. The morphology of the dire wolf was similar to that of its living relatives, and assuming that the dire wolf was a social hunter, then its high bite force relative to living canids suggests ...
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 a large 6.7 m (22 ft) adult saltwater crocodile [23] 10 5 N 100 kN
Saltwater crocodiles have the strongest bite of any living animal. A 4.59 m-long (15 ft 1 in) 531 kg (1,171 lb) saltwater crocodile has been confirmed as having the highest bite force quotient ever recorded for an animal in a laboratory setting, with a value of 16,414 N (3,690 lbf) surpassing the previous record of 13,172 N or 2,961 lbf made by ...
A 5.2 m (17 ft) long saltwater crocodile has been confirmed as having the strongest bite force ever recorded for an animal in a laboratory setting. It was able to apply a bite force value of 3,700 lbf (16,000 N), and thus surpassed the previous record of 2,125 lbf (9,450 N) made by a 3.9 m (13 ft) long American alligator.
In the caption of the video the zoo shared, "With an 1,800 PSI bite force, the hippo has one of the world's strongest bite forces. This bite force is greater than a lion's (650 PSI) and a polar ...
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 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. [205] [206] [207] Even higher estimates were made by Mason B. Meers in 2003. [48]
