Best Answer

According to paleobiologist Dr Gregory Erickson (from Florida State University), the Tyrannosaurus Rex had a bite force of 18000 pounds or more! This is equal to 8164.66 kg. Dr Erickson states that this bite force is more than enough to bite through a car door. Also, the word "tyrannosaur" refers to a group of predatory dinosaurs that lived from the late Jurassic period to the latest cretaceous period, at which time they reached their greatest dominance. Tyrannosaurus Rex, or (T.Rex), is just the best known member of this group.

According to the latest estimates, somwhere between 8,000 and 12,000 lbs. Compare this to the force of the bite of today's large saltwater crocodiles at 3,700 lbs.

How powerful is a Tyrannosaurus Rex jaw?

Tyrannosaurus rex is believed to have had one of the most powerful bite forces of any animal to ever exist. Estimates found its bite force to range between 35,000 and 57,000 newtons. That is three to three and a half times greater than the bite force of sharks and crocodiles, and way more than that of lions. It is enough bite force to break a Triceratops's horn!


Giganotosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus who will win?

We cannot know for sure, but T-Rex had a slightly stronger bite force, but Giganotosaurus's bite was also very powerful. Giganotosaurus was a little bigger, but Tyrannosaurus was probably a little more muscular. Either of them could win, because it is a 'whoever bites first' scenario. Whichever dinosaur decides to bite first will most likely be the winner.
