What is the animal that has the strongest "bite" on the planet?

Studies published in the journal Frontiers state that bite force is defined as the force produced by the muscles and bones of the upper and lower jaw when an animal bites. The strength of the skull and jaws, the teeth, how sharp or big they are, but also the size of the body are some of the characteristics that make an animal have a stronger bite.

What is the animal that has the strongest "bite" on the planet?

Of all the living creatures on the planet, the sea crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is the one with the strongest bite force corresponding to 16,450 newtons, according to a 2012 study. It is noted that 1 newton is equal to about 100 grams . There are two animals that can compete and defeat the crocodile, however their bite force has not been measured in the natural environment as they are marine predators.

On the one hand, there is the orca, or known as the killer whale (Orcinus orca), with its bite estimated at 84,516 newtons by the Dutch Shark Society, on the other hand, the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), with a force of 18,000 newtonian These estimates are the result of computational models used in a 2008 study.

Among extinct species, the bite of T. rex, when it lived about 67 million years ago, is thought to have had a lethal bite force of 35,000 newtons. On the other hand, the great Megalodon shark (Otodus megalodon) that terrorized the seas 15 to 3.6 million years ago had a force of over 182,200 newtons.
