| Fascinating animal with a very big bite. |
Crocodiles are very fast over short distances, even
out of water. They have extremely powerful jaws
capable of biting down with immense force, by far
the strongest bite of any animal. The crocodile's
bite force is more than 5,000 pounds per square
inch, comparing to just 335 psi for a rottweiler,
690 psi for a large great white shark, or 800 psi
for a hyena. They have sharp teeth for tearing and
holding on to flesh, but cannot open their mouth
if it is held closed, because the crocodile is evolved
for biting down; the muscle space inside the skull
is used up for muscle that closes the jaws... |
