Yes, indeed they can break through bone. The crocodile's bite force is more than 5,000 pounds per square inch. By far the strongest of any creature on Earth.

Why crocodiles need teeth?

Crocodiles are ambushers and have limited mobility out of water. This being so, it is a bad idea for crocodiles to miss their prey after biting them; the teeth are slightly hooked in, and they function as 'hooks' that grab on to the prey for the crocodile to drag underwater. Crocodiles' teeth are not used for ripping meat, unlike most other carnivores; for bigger animals, they use their powerful jaws to crush the bone and shake the meat violently in water to rip it apart, and their powerful digestive system does the rest.

How crocodile used its teeth?

Crocodiles use their teeth to capture prey. Once they have a grip on prey, they drag it underwater so it drowns. Then they eat it by using their teeth to grab a chunk of the flesh, and then rolling over in the water to tear it off. They have to do that because their teeth are not effective for shearing flesh off of bone.


Teeth strength of which animal is greater between crocodile and hyena?

Generally, the hyena has the greater teeth strength. the crocodile certainly has the greater jaw strength, with a measurement, by Dr. Brady Barr, of 2500 and 5000 lbs, for Nile crocs. However, the teeth of the hyena are unusually robust, unlike those of the croc, which are replaceable, and may come out, relatively easily. The hyena has one set of teeth for life, so they need to be pretty strong.
