So, which one is more efficient for predators?
In my opinion, slicing bites are more efficient on large and fleshy animals, while crushing bites are better on smaller, bony animals.

Slicing bite. It may not be stronger, but it's much more devastating and deadlier, especially when the teeth are like knives.

It depends on the situation. Bone crusher is efficient at hunting armored and usually smaller prey than itself, while Slicing is better for hunting larger prey than itself. I'm really tired of both fanboys, that favour one type of bite for stupid reasons.

Want a quick kill? Go for a crushing bite, want to torture them and send them into shock and blood loss? Be a shark.
Personally I prefer a different type all together.

Have you ever experienced what it felt like to have a broken limb or a concussion? Extremely painful! I get a crushing bite is deadly, but have you ever seen what a Shark done to a Seal? Look at this.  And you don't call this extremely painful? |

Shark bite victims frequently reported that they didn't feel anything when a shark bites em because basically whatever they bit was off them already. |

DinoMike, at that point the seal cannot feel pain anymore, it's paralyzed and unconscious. I can show multiple accounts of swimmers who were severely cut, and despite the fact that they knew that they were losing massive amounts of blood, the swimmers felt no real pain.
The slicing bite may be visually more painful, but don't underestimate the crushing bite when it comes down to delivering damage.

Sharks attacks victims don't feel pain also because of the combination of fear, adrenaline and blood lose. Cut yourself with sharks teeth, you'll feel pain indeed...

What Grey said. Remove those things and the victim would be in lot's of pain then for sure. Much more than a crushing bite.

What Grey said. Remove those things and the victim would be in lot's of pain then for sure. Much more than a crushing bite. DinoMike, that's not a valid argument because of two reasons: 1. Sharks attacks victims don't feel pain also because of the combination of fear, adrenaline and blood lose. Cut yourself with sharks teeth, you'll feel pain indeed. However, you cannot remove fear or adrenaline, nor can you control blood loss. Therefore, in most cases, shark bites don't cause a lot of pain. 2. Even if you remove adreline and fear, there's still no reason to believe that the shark bite would be any more painful. Do you know what it feels like to have one broken bone? A lot! Now can you imagine your entire skeleton being damaged, and organs being crushed? The pain would be beyond belief. Simply because slicing bites look more painful doesn't mean that they actually are more painful. People often assume that simply because the slicing bite causes massive amounts of blood, it is more painful. That's not true, there are plenty of ways to be in horrendous pain without bleeding significantly. Ask this to any woman who has given birth to a baby before. I'd rather cut my foot than snap my ankle, because the latter is considerably more painful than the former, even if the lack of blood doesn't show it. |

Not really, at the most it burns for a bit then it goes away. I used to get cut up all the time when doing parkour. Now compare that to me breaking your pinky finger. |

I won't bet what is more painful between breaking my finger and a knife-like sawing by sharks teeth, I don't need to.

I still think Slicing Bite is more devastating, but that's just me I guess. Also the teeth are like knives. Stab yourself with a knife and trust me it'd hurt quite alot. |
