The nile crocodile’s bite strength is up to 3,000 pounds per square inch according to livescience.com and wikipedia…
Each ‘bite bar’ costs USD 10 000! What a job!

Thanks for that, I guess the croc in Aust would be similar.
Well I think it is about time this started it’s own thread.

I remember watching a special on the Discovery channel where they were trying to get a Great White shark’s bite power, and admitted that their scale probably wouldn’t read the shark’s maximum bite because of too many variables.
Like not wanting to be 2 inches away from a shark while it’s mouth is open?
hahaha, I think they had the scale inside some big dead fish, and had it dragging behind a boat. They said something like it was hard to get the shark to feel the need to bite with maximum force.[/quote]
They could have just ridiculed the shark or told him he was fat. Worked for me when I was a kid.
