There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I wouldn't use that bite force comparison. Heck, even the gorilla has two times the bite force than the lion; it is the opposite. And the low lion bite force of 650 psi (subadult lion) compared to the tiger.
I would place the Nile Crocodile even higher, though. Some studies suggest anywhere from 5000-8000 psi for one.
