>>34629490Strongest estimated bite force of any terrestrial predator known so far, let alone dinosaur. Most large therapods had relatively weak bites in comparison. Their teeth and jaws were more suited to slashing large chunks of flesh off, the prey eventually bleeding to death. Spinosaurus, the largest therapod ever known, probably had jaws so weak it relied on its large foreclaws to tear flesh into bite sized pieces before it could eat it. Trex was unique in the sense that its jaws could hold and crush its prey to death and eat it, bones and all. It needed strong jaws because it was locked in an evolutionary arms race with several of the herbivores it preyed on (triceratops, ankylosaurus, ect).
>/vp/ being in charge of knowing basic biologyJust stick to the fictional animals next time, ok kid?
