Their seem to be more number of fast twitch muscle fibres in the facial and mouth region of canids. That may be the reason they feed so fastly and tear with lot of force. They bite more often, they love to bite using that tremendous pressure from fast twitch fibres.

Credits to Wilderness Safaris.
Regular repeat guest Dr Peet van der Vyver was recently privileged to watch a sequence of wild dog hunts at Mombo. Each time the pack of 18 wild dogs was about to bring down their prey - first a pregnant impala, and then a red lechwe ram - a trailing clan of spotted hyaena usurped the opportunity and made the kill themselves, robbing the wild dogs of their intended meal and resulting in plenty of vocal and dramatic inter-species interaction.

Two hyenas attack pregnant wildebeest and rip out the baby while the wildebeest is still alive. This happened in Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania

This wouldn't surprise me at all, sometimes it seems a dog can bite almost as fast as a cat can strike. The ripping and shaking techniques can produce serious damage that dogs use when fighting. This clip in particular shows this, Caucasian Shepherds pretty much destroying wolves with ease, very sad to see, but it shows how deadly this fighting technique can be that dogs use, again cat species do not use this same ripping and jerking technique when fighting or killing, with acceptation to the male lion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eatQSKaUIQQ
RE: Canids and Hyaenids Predation - parvez - 01-11-2017
Tigers also have been known to eat prey alive. So it may also be using the jerking techniques though not frequently. Again are you trying to convert this into versus debate. @
RE: Canids and Hyaenids Predation - Apollo - 01-11-2017
Both jerking technique and holding technique were used by all bigcats. Many lion fanatics think lions use jerking technique more because of their big manes, a slight movement of the head will create a ripple effect which makes the mane move heavily.
The truth is Bigcats predominantly use holding technique because of their strong and powerful claws (which is a perfect tool for holding) and canines which is a perfect tool for breaking the neck, spinal cord and cutting off the wind pipe.
Canids predominantly use jerking technique because there lack of claws and there canines were not strong or big enough like the bigcats.
These animal groups (bigcats and canids) were designed and separated by millions of years of evolution. Only a fanatic will think against evolution.

Stick to the topic.
Anymore offtopic stuffs will be deleted.

Two mods officially warned you for offtopic posts, versus debate posts and lionvstiger posts.
You are not ready to respect forum rules and mods warnings.
Finally I told you clearly no more off topic stuffs and versus debate. But you did exactly what I asked you not to do.
And more LvsT stuff
"Samuel Baker noted the tiger does not take a crushing blow with its paws when springing to the attack, but merely seizes with his claws, he went on to say the lion on the other hand strikes with terrible force, similar to a sledge-hammer."
