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.


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.
