The bite force of an animal is influenced by jaw muscles, jawbone, and tooth surface area, but also by the size of its prey. A study from Brown University found that an animal’s bite force varies depending on what it bites. Bite force is measured in pounds per square inch (psi), indicating the pressure exerted on the prey.

Researchers used CT scans of shark skulls to estimate the bite force of a great white shark at nearly 4,000psi, placing it second in bite strength. However, this hasn't been directly measured in a living specimen, so it’s not included in the top list.

The strongest bite force among living animals belongs to the Nile crocodile, at 5,000psi. Here are the top 10 animals with the strongest bites:

Nile Crocodile (5,000psi): Crushes prey before swallowing it whole.
Saltwater Crocodile (3,700psi): Uses bite force to grip prey during a death roll.
American Alligator (2,125psi): Ambushes prey with powerful bite.
Hippopotamus (1,800psi): Defends against predators and other hippos.
Jaguar (1,500psi): Crushes skulls and shells with a single bite.
Bull Shark (1,350psi): Has a varied diet and numerous teeth.
Gorilla (1,300psi): Chews tough vegetation.
Polar Bear (1,200psi): Chomps through thick blubber of Arctic animals.
Grizzly Bear (1,160psi): Breaks bones of large prey.
Hyena (1,100psi): Grinds bones for marrow with conical premolars.
Humans, by comparison, have an average bite force of 162psi. The strongest recorded human bite was over six times this average, measured at the University of Florida in 1986.
