MIGHTY BITES YOU WANT TO AVOID
Added on: 25th Feb 2016
AFRICAN LION
Apparently his mighty bite isn’t one of his greatest weapons.
However, lions have a strong-enough bite to kill you.
JAGUAR
The scary thing about jaguars isn’t just their powerful bite force
but the way their teeth are constructed: they can pierce through
skulls and can also pierce through turtle shells. For the record,
jaguars have the strongest bite by far in relation to size
among the cat family.
BROWN BEAR
The humble brown bear lives in the forests and mountains of
northern North America, Europe, and Asia. It is the most widely
dispersed bear in the world and has a very respectable bite force.
KODIAK BEAR
The Kodiak bear, also known as the Alaskan grizzly bear, lives on
the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in Southwestern Alaska
from which it borrows its name. It is the largest subspecies of brown
bear and one of the two largest members of the bear family,
the other being the polar bear.
SIBERIAN TIGER
Not only do Siberian tigers possess incredibly strong jaws, but
they also possess very sharp teeth which they use to chomp
down on their victims throat.
SNAPPING TURTLE
According to a bite force test done by Dr. Brady Barr of National
Geographic, the snapping turtle possesses a bite force of
about 1000 PSI.
BENGAL TIGER
Bengal tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are
renowned for their power and strength. Despite their fearsome
reputation, most tigers avoid humans but the few that don’t, are
responsible for the deaths of many humans in India where these tigers live.
HYENA
This not so pretty and intimidating animal that most of us 90’s kids
learned about from watching The Lion King, has teeth that are
specialized for consuming coarse food and crushing and digesting
large bones. Their milk contains some of the richest calcium of
all land predators thanks to the bones they eat.
