High end bite force for a domestic dog, ~750 psi.mistermack wrote:You don't hear of them being a particular threat to humans in the wild in Africa.
Maybe they are and it doesn't get reported, or maybe they are just specialists in hunting certain types of game.
They certainly could kill humans with ease, if they were inclined to.
I read somewhere that they have an incredible bite, for an animal of that size.
Grey wolf, ~1,500 psi.
A 20 foot long American alligator registered 3,000 psi.
The AWDs clock in at ~2,800 psi.
I've seen one of them snap a deer pelvis like it was a soda straw.
