Which animals have the strongest bite?

74% Informative
The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) has the strongest known bite force, at 16,460 newtons (newtons measure force magnitude) If confirmed, the strongest bite force could be that of the orca (Orcinus orca), estimated at 84,516 newtons.
Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) terrorized the seas from 15 million to 3.6 million years ago with a bite force.
This bird weighs only about 1 ounce (33 grams), but its beak can crack tough nuts and seeds with a force of 70 newtons, meaning it has the most powerful bite force for its body size, according to the study. That gives the finch 320 times the biting power of T. rex. How do humans compare? The hardest bite our species can manage is around 1,000 newtons, so we're not even in the same league..
