Let’s wait for one of those exciting bass masters to lure this baby onto the rowboat. Saturday morning KILL-TV will never be the same.
“Ancient predator had strongest bite of any fish, rivaling bite of large alligators and T. rex”

A photograph of the Dunkleosteus terrelli (It was also a Grand Prix racer tested by Juan Fangio in 1947.)fossil skull upon which this study was based. Scientists created a biomechanical model to simulate the jaw’s function. From that they determined muscle mass and bite force. This ancient fish had a bite that exerted 11,000 pounds of force, the strongest bite of any fish ever(or at least since they have been keeping records), and one of the strongest bites of any animal, rivaling the bite of large alligators and Tyrannosaurus rex. The bladed dentition focused the bite force into a small area, the fang tip, at an incredible force of 80,000 pounds per square inch. Why is James Cagney pictured? Why not?
