Especially if it’s been a while

Too soon

According to Google that's inaccurate. The orca apparently has ove 19,000 psi of bite force, over because it broke the measuring device?

so it's really: "the nile crocodile has the strongest bite of all animals, except for orcas because we didn't include them on the chart" ?

I have the strongest bite force of all animals (if we leave everyone else off the chart.)

back to your pod, orca. reddit is for land mammals

Oh! Sorry to misrepresent as orca. Imma human sap er sapien

there's something fishy going on here... but i can't put my flipper on it. oh well. carry on, human sap

Yesss Sir [smack of fin on forehead]

This just reminded me of the video where one crocodile mistakes other crocodiles hand for a chicken or something. Bites it, rolls, ripping the thing off with a second. The other just looks in shock and disgust. Hilarious.

So if it bites you and doesn't let go, you'll still be there after a while.

Now you can make a new TIL!

Til

Eh I bet I could beat it

"It's over 19,000!"

Saltwater crocodiles have a stronger bite than Nile crocodiles.

made me think of this,

If you take out all outlier data and set it to the animal kingdom average, orcas arent even all that powerful putting the nile croc in 1st

but their bite force is still pound-for-pound greater than a nile chocodile, no? are orcas and dolphinosaurs even real? i bet the ocean is a myth altogether

Saltwater Crocodiles are often cited as having the strongest, but that isn't accurate anymore - their bite force is measured at 3700 PSI, but Nile Crocodiles, although smaller than Saltwater Crocodiles, have a bite force of 5000 PSI

It would be nice to see a source of who did the 5000psi measurement of the Nile croc bite.

Paleobiologist Gregory M. Erickson and colleagues put all 23 living crocodilian species through an unprecedented bite test. The "winners"—saltwater crocodiles—slammed their jaws shut with 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi), or 16,460 newtons, of bite force.

"We tested several 17-foot [5-meter] saltwater crocs," he said. "If you scale the results up to 20-footers, you get estimates of 7,700 pounds [34,250 newtons], which is the low end of T. rex bite-force estimates.

Just wondering 🤔 ..hmm, could they possibly break a slab of granite 6" in thickness huh?

So... did the others scattered off in every directions, join the feast or just stood by motionless?!

EDIT: typo

Wouldn't know that at all. One thing for sure, three days ago, I got bitten by a crab and it sure hurt. It almost flattened my finger.
