Which has a greater bite force tiger or Sabre tooth tiger?

Answer 1

my answer will surprise you.

well the name is saber tooth cat(smilodon) and they had a very long canines(7 inches) and they had weight consider to be (they were so robust that scientists calls them''a lion on steroids'') as much as today's largest cat in the world the Siberian tiger.

consider the bite forces i may say that it get not even close to a real compression because the saber tooth cat has a bite force that it was close to 160 kg(close to 360 psi) because the canines interrupts is ability to swing is jaws sideways(every predator today have this ability) but if the smilodon used to this movement probably it shattered is canines (the canines used to kill is prey by delivering those long and sharp canines to the neck of is prey and it wasn't using a powerful bite to do so only a accuracy in delivering the bite),unlike the tiger that using is powerful bite to suffocate and breaking the windpipe or the spinal chord of is prey and exerting a bite that is over 1,000 psi(more than a 450 kg).

in my opinion the winner of this compression is the tiger.

Answer 2

It is probably a crocodile or alligator - their bite force is over 2000 pounds per square inch

The Crocodile has been reputed to have the strongest bite on the planet; estimated at 4,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. Paleontologists beleived that Tyrannosaurus Rex's jaw force was 10 times more powerful than any living carnivore, if it was true, it's jaw force could've been 40,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.

Answer 3

The Sabre tooth tiger, also known as the Smilodon, had a generally stronger bite force than modern tigers. Research suggests that the Sabre tooth tiger had a powerful bite force of around 2,000 pounds per square inch, while modern tigers have a bite force of around 1,000 pounds per square inch.
