* Bite force is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch), but that doesn't tell the whole story. A bite's power is also influenced by jaw strength, teeth shape and size, and the animal's overall size and weight.
* There's limited reliable data on hyena bite force. Most research focuses on captive animals, and even then, accurate measurements are difficult to obtain.
* Pitbulls are a breed, not a single, uniform animal. Bite force can vary greatly within the breed, depending on the individual dog's size, genetics, and training.
What we *do* know:
* Hyenas are powerful predators: They have large, powerful jaws designed for crushing bones. Their teeth are sharp and strong, capable of inflicting serious damage.
* Pitbulls have a strong bite: They're known for their jaw strength and powerful bite, which can be dangerous if not properly trained and managed.
Instead of focusing on bite force comparisons, it's more important to understand that both hyenas and Pitbulls are capable of causing serious injury. Respect and caution are essential when dealing with both animals.
