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.

very different. Biology 101. I've read both are around 1000 psi. Its difficult, of course, to get an accurate gauge on maximum bite force, due to the fact the subject
may or may not be giving its best effort. Analysis of skull structure and the muscles associated with biting can give an accurate reading  for potential bite force.

Agreed. I don't like it when debators take scientific research in terms of its active participation and state that the participants in they study are always trying their hardest, and it is easy to tell a human to give it his/her all and near-impossible to allow the animal to do the same.

Tigers tend to have slightly greater bite force at both the canines and carnassials due to a shorter, robust, and more reinforced skull than lions. I am not sure about molars, though.
