Q Which of the following most closely approximates the bite force of a Tyrannosaurus?

- A About the same as a Great White Shark
- B About twice that of a Great White Shark
- C About three times that of a Great White Shark
C About three times that of a Great White Shark
Research examining the jaw muscle mass based on the shape of the Tyrannosaurus skull revealed that the force exerted when its mouth was closed was up to 3,100 kg at the front teeth and a maximum of 5,700 kg at the back teeth. This is approximately three times the bite force of a Great White Shark (2,000 kg).
