Spotted hyena holding the heart of a Topi in its mouth, proving once and for all that valentines day is any day you want it to be. Spotted hyenas have exceptionally powerful jaws, the force of their bite has been measured at 1100psi (pounds per square inch). Their bite force is strong enough that crushing up the bones of their prey and eating them is not out of the question. For comparison, their eternal enemies (lions) have a bite force of only 650psi, and with the exception of the cheetah (450psi) they have the weakest bite of all big cats.
* backstreet sings chorus: " let me see you toss it uuuuppppp!!!"How the tables turned. A group of cape buffalo toss a dead lioness around. Lions are the second largest big cat and one of the most formidable land predators on the planet. That being said, it takes teamwork and perseverance to single out and take down one of these buffalo. Subduing, killing and eating an animal that has 4 times the strength of an ox and are notorious for killing more hunters (human or otherwise) than any other African animal, using nothing but your claws, your wits and your face, is no small feat. And it doesn't always go the way you want it to.
