a crocs bite is quite a bit stronger (20% I think) to a comparative gator. because of the crocs more narrow snout it has less surface area then an alligator.

This may also be true not only because of surface area but because crocodiles can more easily dish out more energy at any given moment due to the fact that they have a four-chambered heart which operates much more efficiently than an alligator's three-chambered heart. (this is also why alligators seem less agile and less aggressive, they just don't have the ability to function with efficiency when blood flows too quickly through the heart.

What is the biting force of a crocodile?

The alligator has an impressive bite force of 3000 pounds. This is equal to 1360.77 kg. It is said that, pound for pound, alligators have the strongest bite force than any other animal in the world. However, a crocodile produces a greater bite force. Brady Barr measured the bite force of a very big Nile crocodile at 5000 pounds (2267.96kg)! And that was still a defensive bite, despite the brute force that the crocodile produced, as it bit the bite meter only when it was brought in its mouth, while it was resting. If this crocodile had bitten the bite meter while charging at it, especially in water, the bite force would have been even greater.

What animal has the strongest bite force?

So far, scientists say that the Thylacoleo carnifex, a marsupial lion that lived in Australia during the Ice Age, had the hardest bite ever. When scientists discovered this, they also found out the animals with bigger brains have a weaker bite. So it is rather clear this fierce biting mammal wasn't very bright. It has been extinct about 40,000 years, so you won't have to worry about having them roaming around your neighborhood. Alligators have the strongest bites of currently living animals. The second strongest bite is owned by alligator snapping turtles and common snapping turtles. Scientists are also saying that the great white shark has the strongest bite force so of today's living animals, it seems to be a toss up between the great white shark and the alligator.

Who has a greater bite force pit bull or crocodile?

A crocodile definitely produces much more bite force. Herpetologist Brady Barr measured the bite force of a great white shark at 669 pounds (303.45 kg). However, this is probably not the best bite force that a great white shark can produce. But, in any case, the shark has such razor-sharp teeth that he doesn't need a greater bite force. He also measured the bite force of a crocodile of South Africa at 2500 pounds (1133.98 kg)! After that, he measured the bite force of a very big Nile crocodile at 5000 pounds (2267.96kg)! This is also the most powerful bite ever measured from any animal. And that was still a defensive bite, despite the brute force that this crocodile produced, as it bit the bite meter only when it was brought in its mouth, while it was resting. If this crocodile had bitten the bite meter while charging at it, especially in water, the bite force would have been even greater.


Who'd win the fight saltwater crocodile or alligator?
