Tasmanian devils have an exceptionally powerful bite relative to their size, possessing the strongest bite-for-size of any living mammalian carnivore, capable of crushing bone and tearing through hide with forces around 553 Newtons (124 lbf) and up to 1200 PSI, allowing them to consume entire carcasses, including bones and organs, to prevent waste. Their jaw structure allows for a wide 80-degree opening, generating immense crushing power.
Their jaws open up to 80 degrees, generating large amounts of power to tear apart meat and crush bones. They have the strongest bite per body mass of any living mammalian carnivore, exerting a force of 553 N.

Of all animals alive on Earth today, the Nile crocodile has the strongest bite, at 5,000psi (or 3,4473,787 newtons per square meter).
The mosquito is the world's most dangerous animal because it transmits deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika, causing an estimated 725,000 to over 700,000 human deaths annually, far more than any other creature. While fearsome animals like sharks and lions kill fewer people, mosquitoes act as vectors for devastating illnesses, making them the deadliest by far.
Deinosuchus (20,000 PSI)
There are no living Deinosuchus specimens to hook up to measuring equipment, but extrapolating from the saltwater crocodile — and examining the shape and orientation of this prehistoric crocodile's skull — paleontologists have arrived at a bite force of a whopping 20,000 pounds per square inch.
Causing an estimated 500 deaths annually (as compared to only 22 for lions), hippos are deadly land mammals. This is because they are very aggressive and territorial, and have a habit of charging at boats and capsizing them.
Calculations based on fossilized megalodon teeth estimate its bite force at a staggering 40,000 PSI, 10 times more powerful than that of a great white, making it the undisputed champion of biting prowess — surpassing even the Tyrannosaurus rex, which scientists estimate used between 8,000 pounds and 13,000 pounds of ...

The average human bite force is between 120-160 PSI (pounds per square inch).
SPOTTED HYENA
Bite strength: 1,100 PSI, necessary to crush large bones.
