The table above is an estimate of the biting force newly measured considering the upper and lower jaw bones and muscle attachment points of a fossil specimen of carnivorous dinosaurs discovered in 2019
The biting force of AMNH FARB 5027 was measured at about 62 tons in the table above of Tyrannosaurus Stan, where the skull was fully discovered
Stan is classified as a slender individual among the Tyrannosaurus specimens found Body length 118m Weight 7ton
The biting force of FMNHPR 2081 was measured at 96 tons in a sample of Sue’s body length of 12 meters and weight of 8 tons, which is famous for being a heavy individual among the Tyrannosaurus populations
In the past, it was estimated that the biting force was about three to five tons, and some scholars predicted that it would come out higher
In a way, the prediction was right and Tyrannosaurus became a more frightening monster
Tyrannosaurus would have dominated the Cretaceous North American continent, eating triangular pigs with enormous jaw strength
