As the saying goes, animals are not strong, the size of the body counts. Animals are not fierce, bite force counts. The mouth should be one of the most powerful weapons of all beasts, which generally have a good tooth and a terrifying bite force. So what is the bite force of these beasts? Today, we will take a look at the "iron teeth and copper teeth" of the animal kingdom.
Lion, Tiger and Leopard
If you want to talk about the beast, it is indispensable to the three brothers of lions, tigers and leopards, in the last speed race, the cheetah has the advantage of crushing, and has become the speed of the three brothers. So as the king of the forest, can the lion regain face in terms of bite force? Let's start with lions.
lion
According to the test of relevant personnel, it was found that the bite force of the lion was only more than 580 pounds, which was really a bit low, could it be that our "king of the prairie" was going to be reduced to a background board again? However, the low bite force of lions is understandable, because the lifestyle of lions is more special.
Lions can be said to be the real social beasts of all big cats, and under the ability of group combat, the bite force of 580 pounds is completely sufficient, so the lion does not continue to evolve in the bite force. What about cheetahs in contrast? Although the cheetah has an incredible speed, the bite force is only about 300 pounds.

This is weaker than the bite force of lions, but there is no way, because the leopard itself will be slightly weaker than lions and tigers, and this evolution is obviously for speed, so the bite force of 300 pounds is enough for leopards to use. Now it's the turn of the "King of the Forest" tiger.
The Bengal tiger among the tigers is known for its strongest bite force, and according to the test, the bite force of the Bengal tiger can reach 950 pounds, which is twice that of the lion and three times that of the cheetah. Of course, this is also related to the living environment of tigers, tigers live in the mountains, and they live alone, so they need a strong bite force.

There is also a creature called jaguar, or known as the jaguar, he is a special kind of cat, neither a tiger nor a leopard, very fierce, the bite force can even reach 1360 pounds, this bite force really makes the lion tiger leopard three brothers ashamed, but in this bite force competition, the Bengal tiger for the tiger to win back a round.
Orangutans and bears
What is the bite force of the beast? Some beasts that seem to have no mouth, the bite force is also amazing. First of all, let's talk about the creature of the bear, now the bear feels as if it is not as terrible as before, and even becomes a good buddy of the "fighting nation" in the eyes of people.
In fact, most of these are netizens spoofed out, the bear is an extremely fierce creature, just a slap of the power, can make people fracture or coma, in the human impression, the bear's attack method is to use its own forelimbs to attack people, which makes people ignore the bear's bite force.
Big Grizzly Bear
According to the test, the bite force of a large grizzly bear can reach about 880 pounds, you heard 880 pounds, which is much higher than that of a lion. This makes the lion look very faceless, and it is about to become a unit of measurement of bite force. Of course, this is not the bear's highest bite force, the bear's highest bite force depends on the polar bear.
Polar bears are currently the largest land predators on our earth, and the bite force of bears is related to body size, so the bite force of polar bears can reach more than 1,000 pounds of terror, and in addition to the terrible bite force, polar bears also have huge palm power, so terrifying that scientists dare not easily test.

It is worth mentioning that polar bears can easily bite the head of a seal when hunting seals. In addition to polar bears, there is also a biological bite force that has been overlooked. That is the "high-quality" chimpanzee of the animal kingdom, I did not expect it, since the chimpanzees also have bite force.
In our impression, the gorilla is more generous and cute, with a pair of large "hands", which makes people only notice the orangutan's hand, but not the orangutan's bite. Although silverback gorillas do not eat meat, the bite force is a staggering 1170 pounds, which is more than twice that of lions.

In addition, orangutans have very large powers, can lift objects weighing half a ton, which shows how fierce the gorillas really are. However, these are not the most bite force, and the real bite force king is still behind.
The bite is the strongest
Do you know what is the most bite-strong creature in the animal kingdom? The next three on the scene are all the kings of the bite force, of course, the bite force has never been unique to land creatures, and there are also terrifying bite force monsters in the ocean, which is the great white shark.
The great white shark is one of the most ferocious animals in the ocean, because the great white shark is as ferocious as his name. The great white shark not only has more than 300 sharp teeth, but also has a bite force of up to 1.8 tons, that is, 3600 pounds, which is about seven times that of lions.
Great white sharks
Moreover, the great white shark has a very special habit, as long as it sees a moving object, it wants to go up and bite two bites, so when humans appear in the vision of the great white shark, the great white shark will also try to bite a few bites, once bitten by the great white shark, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In addition to the great white shark, the crocodile sits firmly in the second position of the bite force, the crocodile can be described as the king of the bite force, the ordinary crocodile bite force can reach more than 1700 pounds, of which the bay crocodile bite force is the strongest, the largest can reach 4200 pounds, which is converted into about 3800 pounds.
Such a terrifying bite force, 200 pounds higher than that of a great white shark, and the bay crocodile is also the world's largest reptile, which makes the bay crocodile the world's top carnivorous animal. The huge bite force, coupled with the unique death roll, makes many large animals inevitably die.
Bay crocodile
Of course, such a ferocious bay crocodile is only in second place, so who is the first? To give you a hint, it can take a bite of a watermelon, and it will splash around when pulling the poop. As some people may have guessed, it is a hippopotamus.
Hippos, though they look thick and docile, have a very strong sense of territory, and if someone invades their territory, they will be very irritable, and the weapon they use to attack is their mouth. Hippos have the strongest bite force in the world, reaching a maximum of 2268 kilograms, or 4536 kilograms, which is about nine times that of lions.

And don't underestimate the hippopotamus, which is also one of the animals that kill the most each year. Nearly 500 people die in hippopotamus mouths every year in Africa. In addition to that, what other animals do you know about the bite force?
