While many researchers rarely come to a consensus as to which organism in the Animal Kingdom has the strongest bite, latest research suggests that the Great White shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is capable of producing over 4,000 psi (Wroe et al. 2008)! However, Wroe et al. (2005) also derived predicted measures of bite force and compared bite force measures across multiple species using a bite force quotient. It suggested that over all living species, the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was capable of producing the highest relative bite force.

It is important to note that while many have suggested that the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) has the strongest bite at over 5,000psi, Erickson et al. (2003) showed a maximum bite force of 2125 psi...still a lot but half of the force many credit it with.
