It’s a bit more complex, in vivo measurements for crocodilians are always way higher than biomechanical modeling would suggest. I think there was some study that found the same held true in lizards, and muscle pennation had something to do with this. Of course, crocodilians are potentially an extreme and the difference is less in other animals, but considering this I’d say its very unwise to use lower estimates of tyrannosaur bite force to compare them to in vivo measurements of crocodilians.

I think this study states bite forces peak in crocs whereas that's not the case with the study about T. rex bite force.
I think the regular bite force of Deinosuchus would rival but not necessarilly exceeds the one in T. rex.

Not quite what the article claims? The article did say 34.25kN and the paper apparently gave a figure (slightly) higher though. What I meant is that the figures are for crocodiles of different sizes. |

Oh, then.

So his paper gave different bite force values than what he said himself? What?
Still, pretty cool findings nonetheless

Is there any data on baboon bite force? I feel like it would be close to a good-sized dog.

A question to Vodmeister: if what's been posted in Raptorex vs. DW is anything to go by, a ~70kg (~154lb) leopard seemingly has a bite force of ~904N (~203lbf) at the canines, a ~203kg (~448lb) lion seemingly bites with a force of ~1768N (~397lbf) and a ~145kg (~320lb) tiger seemingly bites with a force of ~1525N (~384lbf). Does this sound accurate to you at all? The figure for the leopard sounds rather reasonable to me, but the bigger cats...not so much...
Edit: I don't think so anymore. I compared the proportional bite forces of a polar bear and the figures I gave above, and the polar bear seems to bite harder, which I seriously doubt would be the case.
