Excerpt from All About Sharks: A Complete Guide to the World’s Most Misunderstood Predator (Nov. 2017):
Though known for its ferocious bite, the great white shark’s powerful jaws actually ranks only fifth in the animal kingdom.
Biologists measured a great white’s bite strength at 600 pounds per square inch which trailed the lion (940), hyena (1,000), snapping turtle (1,000) and alligator (2,125).
