Prehistoric arctic sea monster had four times the bite of a T-Rex
With teeth that measured over a foot long, “Predator X,” a fossilized Arctic sea monster, had one of the largest bite forces ever calculated, scientists say. The Jurassic-era reptile, which was 50 feet long its skull alone measured over 10 feet could produce an incredible 33,000 lbs per square inch of bite force, according to the Natural History Museum of Oslo University. “It’s much more powerful than T-Rex,” says Joern Hurum, who led the 2008 excavation that uncovered the dinosaur. Over 147 million years old, the fossilized remains of Predator X suggest its bite was over 10 times more powerful than any modern animal, and four times the bite of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, a land carnivore, Reuters reports.
