Wild hogs, also known as wild boars, possess powerful jaws with strong teeth adapted for rooting and foraging. Their bite force can exceed 400 pounds per square inch (psi), which is significantly stronger than that of domestic pigs. This strength enables them to break through tough vegetation and dig for food, making them effective foragers in their natural habitats. Their incisors and tusks also play a crucial role in defense and foraging.

What will win a gray wolf or a African wild dog?

A grey wolf would win, it has more jaw strength, a wolf's jaw strength is about 1600 LBS per square inch! and it has more jaw strength than a lion, and a lion has more jaw strength than the wild dog, so it has that advantage. they have about the same speed, a wolf's speed is between 40 - 45 MPH, and a wild dog's is 45 MPH. The wolf is just stronger, and a wolf has sharper and maybe longer canines. The wolf is bigger, and it has more protection with it's thicker fur. And it's cuter ( i know that doesn't have anything to do with fighting ability, but i just wanted to say that :) The fight would go the heavier wolf. But bite force is similar, both between 400-500 psi. Neither is close to the lion, which is around 900 psi, or tiger at 975. No canid has a bite force of 1600 psi.
