BITES YOU WANT TO AVOID
Added on: 29th May 2016
POLAR BEAR
Polar bears are some of the strongest and toughest mammals
on the planet and as such they have a very powerful bite force
as well. Their nutrition consists mainly of seals—which don’t
exactly have soft skin—but their teeth are adapted for
a vegetable diet as well.
GRIZZLY BEAR
The grizzly bear is a majestic and dominant symbol of the wild and
raw strength. They are omnivorous and have very strong teeth;
their incisors are relatively big and their canine teeth are large.
Unlike most other carnivorous animals, their teeth are adapted
for a vegetable diet.
BULL SHARK
Bull Sharks have the strongest bite among fish but their PSI is
only half the equation; they also possess extremely sharp teeth.
SILVERBACK GORILLA
The teeth of typical Silverback gorillas (male) are white and big
but not very sharp; however, they have very strong neck and
jaw muscles that give them a very strong bite force.
HIPPOPOTAMUS
Hippos might not look like they possess a strong bite but the truth
is these huge animals have extremely powerful jaw muscles.
Although they’re herbivores, they have the strongest bite
among all mammals.
AMERICAN ALLIGATOR
The American alligator is the rare success story of an endangered
animal that was not only saved from extinction but is also one of
the most vicious and deadly predators in the world with the third
most powerful bite.
NILE CROCODILE
The Nile crocodile has a well-deserved reputation as one of the
most vicious man-eaters in all Africa. Firm numbers are sketchy,
but estimates are that up to about 200 people may die each year
in the jaws of a Nile crocodile, who also happens to have the
second most powerful bite in the animal kingdom.
SALTWATER CROCODILE
Simply put, the saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile,
as well as the largest terrestrial and riparian predator in the world.
The males of this species can reach up to 22ft and weigh up to
4,400lbs and they have the strongest bite ever measured
on a living animal.
