Animal with hardest bite force?

Question

Of all species of animals, what species has the most powerful bite, overall? NOT pound for pound, but overall.

My sources tell me it's the Saltwater Crocodile or Snapping Turtle, each having over 2,000 lbs of pressure in their bite. I've read that both, wolves and hyenas produce up to 1,500 lbs of pressure, where as lions produce up to 600 lbs of pressure, and the largest dogs producing near 600 lbs of pressure. Do you know of any animal that can bite harder than the crocodile or snapping turtle?

Answer 1

The Great white shark.

Many tons of biting pressure.

Answer 2

Hippo, then a hyena.

Answer 3

sharks??? idk im excited for shark week tho lol

the 2000lbs is the highest ive heard that i can remember

Answer 4

I'm not sure how hard a Gila Monster bites. But apparently once they bite you , they don't let go. So you have to go to the doctor and I think they use special pliers or something to un-pry the Gila Monster's mouth from wherever it bit you.

Answer 5

Not pound for pound???  A sharp, mostly because of the extremely sharp teeth and power.  It would rip you apart quicker than you would ever imagine.

Answer 6

Tyrannosaurus Rex, probably...

Answer 7

i think a hippopotamus.

Answer 8

hyena has the strongest jaws, and a moray eel has one heck of a bite i dont remember exactly but i believe equal to a hyenas.

i dont remember the name but the one with the mostpowerful bite not pound for pound is a species of alligator.

Answer 9

it is the  turtle. people assume shark, but it's not. i saw it on a documentary.

Answer 10

probably the croc

Answer 11

I've heard that the some sort of wild dog does that is similar to a coyote but i just can't remember the name.But I think that is just in mammals not all species.

Answer 12

No I think the crocodile wins with a bite force of 2500

Answer 13

i thinkk its the salt water crocodile, because i was watching man vs. wild one time, and from what i recall (dont quote me on this) but i think the guy said salt water crocodiles' bites have the force of one ton per square inch.

is that correct? idk.
