A lion can exert a bite force of around 650 pounds per square inch (psi), which is strong enough to crush bones and tear through tough hides of prey animals. This allows lions to effectively hunt and consume their prey.
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 1000-1200IbsAccording 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.
By Tigress4324: Well, you have to look at the shape of the cat's skull. The truth is, lion's and tiger's skulls have been compared, and they are very much alike, the difference is somtimes only noticable to experts. Lions have slightly longer skulls, and tiger's are wider. The wider the skull is, the more force will be applied to a bite. This is because the area of force is concentrated more, and not spread over a long length. This would give the tiger a stronger bite. Some animals with long skulls, such as crocodiles, have extremely strong jaws. BUT: crocodiles and cats are completely different animals. If you compare a shark with a croc, (the shark has a wider mouth, the croc's is longer) you will see that the shark's jaws are much stronger, thus supporting this law of bite-phisycs.Shark bite is only 700Ib. Crocolides bite is 3000Ib.Sharks bite is 4 times weaker than crocodiles.And there's more: if the fangs are placed farther into the skull, they will be in the jaws more firmly, and the animal's jaws will be stronger. ( a good example of this would be the hyena, which has a deadly strong bite.) Tiger's canine teeth are held father into the skull than lion's are. The result is that tigers have a stronger bite force than lions.
No, an African Lion has a much stronger bite force than a snapping turtle. Lions have one of the strongest bite forces among land animals, while snapping turtles have a strong bite force for their size but it is not as powerful as a lion's.
Animal with the largest bite force is the saltwater crocodile.
A lion can exert a bite force of around 650 pounds per square inch (psi), which is strong enough to crush bones and tear through tough hides of prey animals. This allows lions to effectively hunt and consume their prey.
The jaw pressure of a African lion bite is rated at about 600 pounds per square inch. By comparison, a human bite is about 120 pounds per square inch.A Lions bite force is approximately 700 lbs

Yes
Wolves have a bite force of around 1,500 pounds per square inch (psi), which is strong enough to crush bones. This bite force is comparable to that of a domestic dog and is lower than that of some other wild animals like lions and hyenas.
The saltwater crocodile has the strongest bite force in the animal kingdom, with a bite force of over 3700 pounds per square inch (psi). This makes it significantly stronger than any mammal, including powerful biters like lions and tigers.
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!

The average bite force of an orca, or killer whale, is around 19,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This powerful bite allows them to effortlessly crush the skulls of their prey, including marine mammals such as seals and sea lions.
According to the "animal face-off" series, a male tiger has an impressive 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 tigers that pierced through the skulls of other male tigers with their canines, during territorial fights. The lion has also the same bite force.
