What is the power of the lions jaw?

Answer 1

A male lion's bite was read at 1370Ib. In another test the bite was 1442Ib.A lioness bite was 825Ib and then 1050Ib. WHAT???

Those were the top bite forces, but usually their bite force is 1000-1200Ibs
According to the "animal face-off" series, a male lion has a bite force of 1000 pounds. This is equal to 453 kg, and it means that it can cut through bone. There are indeed cases of male lions that pierced through the skulls of other male lions with their canines, during territorial fights. The tiger has also the same bite force. In the "animal face-off" series, it was stated that scientists have developed a statistical formula to measure the bite force; Bite force = 2 (M x m+ T x t) / Length U, according to which, the bite force for both the lion and the tiger is 1000 pounds. However, the bite force is not the same for all lions (and tigers). It depends on the size, strength, age (etc) of the particular individual. Brady Barr measured the bite force of a small male lion that lived in the wild at 691 pounds (313.43 kg). That particular lion was not fully grown and also not very muscular (quiet thin lion), apart from the fact that it was clearly hesitating to bite the bite meter too hard, for fear of breaking its teeth. Generally speaking, the largest and strongest lions are those that live in the Ngorongoro Crater, in Tanzania (with the exception of the few barbary lions that still exist). Hyenas have greater bite force than lions, however a lion's bite is more devastating than a hyena's bite, because of the larger teeth that a lion has.
A lion can bite about 400 pounds in force. However, this typically depends on the gender, species, and age of the lion.
600 to 1000 pounds per square inch...
Lions should be able to exert at least 900lbs per square inch. Over three times the bite force of an American Pit bull terrier, which have massive biting force, or stronger than two wolves biting force COMBINED.

Tigers can bite with over 1,000lbs of force PSI. Even more deadly... to equate to such a force, you can have a Hummer run over your arm and a lion's bite would STILL hurt more and cause more trauma.

NOTE: Do not have your arm or ANY part of your body lie while ANY vehicle goes over you. This is a warning to any who are dumb enough to try this. Very serious consequences to this.
