I think that crocodile is the deadliest, having characters as Leviathan...

You don't even need to think, it's already the deadliest by having 1200psi bite than the runner up

4. Jaguar (1,350 psi) (Pic 1)
Are you surprised to find the jaguar listed here at No. 4, beating out lions and tigers when it comes to biting power? It's no mistake. Jaguars have a more powerful bite than any other cat on the planet, and the second most powerful bite of all mammals. Do you remember when we described the way lions and other cats take down their prey by using their jaws to crush their victims' throats and suffocate them to death? Jaguars aren't that subtle. Their jaws are powerful enough to deliver a deadly bite that punctures skull and brain, which is exactly how jaguars kill. They even sometimes feast on turtles, because jaguars enjoy the rare ability to be able to bust through a turtle's thick shell with their mighty chops. They may not be the biggest, strongest or deadliest killers in the feline family, but when it comes to biting, jaguars take the cake.

3. Hippopotamus (1,825 psi) (Pic 2)
The hippopotamus is widely considered to be the No. 1 most dangerous animal in Africa, which certainly puts it in the running for most dangerous animal in the world. They may look like goofy, awkward oafs, but make no mistake: nearly everything about the hippopotamus is deadly. Enormous at 4,000 pounds (that's two tons), hippos are among the largest mammals. They are aggressive and, despite appearances, they are relatively fast and able to reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour. And those huge maws! Their mouths are filled with teeth that can reach nearly 2 feet in length, backed by the most powerful bite of any land mammal. And despite the species' meatless diet, it takes little provocation for a hippo to attack a human. More hippos kill people in Africa than any other animal. A recent theory even posits that King Tut was killed by one. Taming them won't work either. In South Africa, a farmer named Marius Els raised a pet hippo, Humphrey, from the animal's infancy. "Humphrey's like a son to me," Els said. However, Humphrey bit and killed Els in 2010 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/14/pet-hippo-humphrey-kills-owner.
In short, a hippo's bite = death.

2. Alligator (2,125 psi)
Planning a vacation to Florida, or thinking about retiring there? Keep in mind that you'll be entering the gator capital of the world. These kings of the Southern American wetlands possess the second strongest bite on Earth, and are faced with no predators of their own. Alligators will eat fish, birds, turtles, and even dogs or the occasional deer. And while they generally aren't aggressive toward humans, attacks certainly happen. For details, you can see a record of every alligator attack in the state of Florida since 1948, but here are some interesting and disquieting highlights: Alligators killed more Floridians between 2000 and 2007 (12 victims) than the entire '70s, '80s and '90s combined. That number includes three people who were killed within just one week in May 2006. And even if an alligator's bite doesn't kill a person, it can still easily amputate a limb, which is what happened to Carol Hough, who lost her arm to a gator in July, and Kaleb Langdale, who suffered the same fate in September 2012.

1. Crocodile (3,700 psi)
It's no surprise that the alligator's close cousin tops our list. With a mind-boggling 3,700 pounds per square inch of bite force, crocodiles boast 1,200 psi more than this list's runner up, and more than twice as much chomping power than the third-place hippopotamus. When it comes to biting, crocodiles simply leave all their competition in the dust. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptiles on the planet, with some specimens measuring more than 20 feet long and weighing more than a ton. Relative to their enormous size, it's no wonder their large and powerful jaw muscles make crocodiles' snouts among the world's deadliest traps. And while they're typically lazy and able to survive for long periods without food, crocs can and will apply their formidable choppers to just about any prey that is ill-fated enough to enter their territory, including cows, water buffalo, sharks and, yes, humans. Need an example of how quickly and easily a hungry croc can finish you off? In 2009, a crocodile gruesomely took a human head clean off with a snap of its Jaws. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/12/crocodile-bites-off-10-ye_n_174249.html

8. Alligator Snapping Turtle (1,000 psi) (Pic 1)
If we're talking about the common snapping turtle, which are fairly docile and harmless, you probably had nothing to worry about. But if you happened upon an alligator snapping turtle, you might actually have been in danger of losing a digit or two. Though it is the smallest animal on this list, the alligator snapping turtle's bite packs enough of a punch to slice through finger bones with ease. Granted, that kind of trauma is very rare because these turtles are uncommon and not particularly aggressive, but amputated fingers are not completely unheard of. Plus, alligator snapping turtles can live to be around 100 years old, and you know how cranky the elderly can be sometimes. Just watch where you step the next time you take a dip in the creek.

7. Tiger (1,050 psi) (Pic 2)
Of the big cats, tigers have been the deadliest to humans, although this is due mostly to tigers living closely with us in India and other parts of Asia. But it remains true that they are among nature's finest predators. They are the largest big cat, and with a bite force of around 1,050 psi, they bite almost twice as hard as lions do. Perhaps that's why lions hunt in packs to take down their prey, while tigers are perfectly content — and efficient — flying solo. No teamwork needed, not with jaws like that. Even a trained tiger who's "just playing" can do some serious damage. For example, Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy was the victim of the most famous tiger attack when his show tiger, Montecore, attacked him during a performance. Some experts claim that after Horn tripped accidentally, Montecore was only trying to help by using his maw to grip the entertainer by the throat and drag him off-stage. The tiger's "assistance" ended Horn's career and almost claimed his life.

6. Hyena (1,100 psi) (Pic 3)
Hyenas suffer from a pop-cultural reputation as cowardly scavengers. (Most have us have seen "The Lion King," right?) It's mostly undeserved. Although hyenas are indeed scavengers — but hey, so are dogs — they do hunt and kill their own food the majority of the time. With their aggression, and a biting force that rates as one of the most powerful of all mammals on Earth, hyenas have even been known to chase off lions in order to claim prey for themselves. Take that, Mufasa. And whether you're talking about fresh kills or scavenged carcasses, hynenas are ravenous and leave little behind. When feeding, they routinely shatter and consume bone using their mega-powerful jaws. Shuddering yet? If you plan on camping in hyena territory, beware. They may attack unprovoked. In July 2012, hyenas attacked a sleeping Kenyan family in the middle of the night, killing two children and injuring six other people. https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/07/hyena-pack-attacks/

5. Gorilla (1,300 psi) (Pic 4)
Gorillas are the largest of all our primate cousins. With huge, muscular, tree-trunk-like arms and enormous canine teeth biting down at a strength of 1,300 pounds per square inch, a 400-pound silverback (adult male gorilla) certainly cuts an imposing figure. That said, these gentle giants are little threat to people. They are herbivorous, peaceful and generally shy in the presence of humans. But silverback troop leaders will engage in combat should they meet and come into conflict in the wild, and these fights are often to the death. It's in these situations that the ferocious teeth and formidable bite of the gorilla come into play. Gorilla-on-human attacks are not entirely unheard of, either, although these usually take the form of self-defense or, in the case of a zookeeper in Buffalo, N.Y., who was bitten by a gorilla last spring, "love bites." Even though reports indicated the bites in this instance were intended to be playful, they sent the keeper to the hospital, and a SWAT team had to be called in to tranquilize the gorilla. Chomp!

Nairaland General › 12 Most Powerful Bites in the Animal Kingdom by GforGee(op): 1:19am On Jan 13, 2021*

How much would it hurt if someone bit you as hard as they could? A lot, right? They'd probably break skin, draw blood and do relatively serious damage. Now imagine how it would feel to be bitten by an animal whose bite is 25 times more powerful than a human's. Yikes! Check out 12 animals with the strongest bites in the world.

(Note: Numbers are based on evidence, estimates and extrapolations. Bite force among animals will always vary from subject to subject.)

12. Dog (325 pounds per square inch) (Pic 1)

Dogs may be man's best friend, but they're not to be messed with when on the attack. Dogs turn their powerful jaws on a lot of people every year, and a small handful of those on the receiving end of dog bites even die as a result. But with the vast amount of physical variation among breeds, there's also not a consistent degree of bite strength in the species. In other words, you'll probably walk away in better shape from a Yorkshire Terrier's bite than a bite from, say, a snarling Rottweiler. The breed that is considered to have the strongest bite of all dogs is the Mastiff, with some estimates putting its bite at more than 500 psi. German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls also have notably strong bites. Delivery guys beware.

11. Great White Shark (625 psi) (Pic 2)
It may surprise you to see the villain from "Jaws" positioned so low on this list. After all, shark attacks stand for many of us as the quintessential deadly animal attack. And even if you don't have a particular fear of sharks, meeting a Great White while taking a dip in the ocean is the most likely the very last animal encounter you'd ever wish for. Indeed, don't let this ranking dissuade you from the notion that Great Whites are as deadly as you've always thought. But it's mainly the size and shape of the sharks' teeth that make them so dangerous. With mouths full of huge razors, they simply don't need an excess of force in order to tear through you like a knife through warm butter. That's not to say that 625 psi of chomping power is anything to sneeze at. We're still talking about the 11th most forceful bite on the planet.

10. Lion (650 psi) (Pic 3)
He may be king of the jungle, but the lion isn't king of this list, even among felines (as you'll see). At approximately 650 pounds per square inch, the lion's bite is relatively weak compared to that of other big cats. In our nightmares, being attacked by a lion may be all about being pounced on and torn to ribbons with flying claws and rending teeth. But the way most cats take down their prey is more subtle than that. When a lion attacks a wildebeest or buffalo, it clamps its jaws down on its victims throat, crushing the trachea. Once the prey is dead from suffocation, the pride feasts. Even though a lion's bite is "weak" (although still six times that of a human), their jaws are only one weapon in their arsenal, so don't start thinking it's a smart idea to go out and poke a lion with a stick.

9. Bear (975 psi) (Pic 4)
Bears are only No. 9 on this list, but they win the prize for most adorable. Not that there's much cute about an angry, 800-pound grizzly, but between teddy bears, Winnie the Pooh and other pop-culture bear icons, humanity seems to have a long-standing wish to see these beasts as mere pot-bellied, sunny-dispositioned cuties that want nothing more out of life than honey and hugs. If you see one in the wild, though, don't dare try rubbing its tummy. A bear's 975-psi bite is enough to crush a bowling ball. And bear attacks aren't particularly rare, either. If you plan on hiking or camping anywhere there are bears (i.e., basically any place for hiking or camping), you'd better know ahead of time what to do in case you encounter one. A bear is liable to attack you if it perceives you as any kind of a threat to its territory, food or family. Or it may just be hungry, and you look delicious.

radautoworks:
And this point is exactly why I stopped harping on the actual parts themselves and started focusing more on diagnosis, education and repair. I now advice customers who can't afford our parts (especially since the inflation has priced a lot of them out) to get their own parts once we diagnose and we do the repair for them or go elsewhere. At least they know what is wrong with the car.

The economic climate forces one's hand so if it means "China part" is all the customer can afford then let us at least make sure they are getting the right part. Does it affect our numbers, yes a little but that was never the point. An overhaul of this industry was.

I'm glad that we're understanding the Nigerian economic climate as it is. Na try we dey try, we're not equipped financially and tool wise!
There was a time I helped someone to go move some goods with a VW of 1996 or so. FRSC stopped us and said the Tires have expired, they actually were expecting that he buy tires of 17k times 4 sad

Saying that if you can't afford to use a car, don't buy it. I was driven crazy by that statement, but I just kept my cool and was looking at the FRSC lady. Las las, the DL I gave em was a clean photocopy that was cut into the size of the original and even made solid like one. The lady detected (though I didn't claim it to be the original), so there was nothing to hold us down other than to ask us to go and make sure to buy new tires.
And that is why I always give kudos to our technicians here, especially those that like to learn. I want to believe all the great mechs in the house didn't learn all they do in Nigerian schools but are using their ability to read and understand to follow up on trends within the automobile industry. E no easy, una well done!

[color=royalblue]He isn't trying to condemn. He's simply saying the truth, though bitter

Using a hybrid for Uber is a wrong tool. There are very few people that can handle it over here. Until your car breaks down in Badagry, and you have to tow it to Ladipo or wait days for the technician to come an attend to it over there, one won't understand

Someone here used a Ford for Uber, and he ended up selling it because of wahala. One needs to use a vehicle that technicians are ready available and can handle. That's why the Toyota and Honda is everywhere.

Personally, for me, Dru was right.

For now, a hybrid is a wrong tool for this business[/color]

Of course he is right and I'm always looking forward to his contribution. Guess you're not seeing the rest of his statements that downplayed the competency of petrol car mechanics.

Crvrider:
The bolded is exactly Dru's point. If the whites are having a hard time getting their cars fixed, how much more down here in Nigeria where quite a number of mechanics don't take the time to update their skills.

Dru was only stating what he felt was the obvious. I follow chrixfixit on youtube and this guy is a bad ass mech. He uploaded a video of changing the battery of a Prius and without the right skill set and tools an attempt to do that will turn that car into a lemon.

See video link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3RCdrh666w

I also understand his point of view too, and that's why I'm asking that he calms down. Now that we don't have competent technicians, should we all be dumping our cars for new ones? Or be flying in technicians from overseas (like we can afford it shocked

). What I think is, he should give his advice, not his condemnation, the former helps!

The truth is, our mechanics are really trying. Go to edmunds and other car review websites and you'll see hundreds of car problems that still remain unresolved despite countless visits to the dealership.

I have even seen someone say Acura or Lexus(can't remember which) had to fly in their engineer to his city to disgnose and resolve the issue with his vehicle when the dealership he bought the vehicle from couldn't resolve it.

Even the engineer that was sent could not resolve the issue so Acura had to replace the vehicle for the guy.

Those were engineers with modern tools, scanners, and tens of years of experience. How much more our own local mechanics. While it can be argued that quite a number of them incompetent, cconsidering what is available for them to work with, they are really trying.

This is exactly what I was saying ooh. Na try our people dey try. We don't produce, we're only trying to maintain what we bought.

Unfortunately alot of you guys here on nairaland read, but fail to read without understanding.. You guys tend to read with either 1 eye or with two eyes close

The issue of mechanic came up with hybrid cars.Somone wanted to get my opinion on hybrid cars especially prius. I stated basically not in nice way coz am not here to please anyone , that it is not a good idea coz Nigerian mechanics are not skilled enough to work on them , and even if they are skill enough they are not too many of them to handle ..

It will not make sense for you to drive down from Ogun state to Lagos to look for an Hybrid mechanic.. That is not counterproductive at all .. There is a lot of cars petrol cars like Acura Mdx ,Ford cars, Volvo and some Japanese cars that local mechanics are still struggling to learn and fix ..mechanics in Nigeria are still learning work and most don't have the correct tools to do the job etc ..

Nigeria mechanics will you tell certain cars are good because that his the only cars they know how to fix and anything else is bad .. People bring in cars based on Nigerian mechanics skills on how to fix them etc . Some cars out there are actually good ,but not enough mechanic that know how to fix them , and you think I will advice someone to bring in hybrid cars...

There was an article years ago that I read how wealthy Nigerias will cargo their luxury cars overseas for regular maintenance check and fix..

In my past post I stated that USA mechanics are crazy too ,and even some car dealership mechanics are careless and they can mess up your car ..

I stated that when I got my Infiniti g25x , I took it to a white middle class to upper class mechanic shop neighborhood area .. I refuse to take my car to ghetto area shops ...

If any mechanic here is offended, it is because they lack confidence in themselves.. If you are good at your job you will ignore my comment and keep doing what you doing..

Most cars owners have trust issues with mechanics . And most will not leave their cars overnight at a mechanic shop..

Whether you like it or not I speak facts. Oya argue with your keyboard

Argue? I don't do that, sorry to disappoint you. Now, I've not done a census of the number of mechanics in Lagos or anywhere but I can tell you that there are thousands of them. Quick question, how many have you tried?
Nobody says you shouldn't state the facts, but you go a long way to condemn. I guess it makes you happy!

Y'all should try to understand each other and not throw jabs (I wonder why you even enjoy that undecided

). Dru is based in USA, and every mechanic there is competent, thus making him carry the same mentality to Nigeria that any mechanic (roadside or otherwise) should be competent. My guys here for Naija knows better about Nigerian mechanics that not all are good (as a matter of fact, you have to try many to find a competent one). Since Dru have experienced lots of incompetency, he has made up his mind about certain things. I think we should see his point of view even if we don't see his point.
Mr Dru, I think you should also be calming down ooh. Don't go start thinking Nigerians are incapable, no, we are not, na our leaders dey draw us back. You will be shocked at what we can do under the right circumstances and with the right tools. For example, how many mechanics do you think are able to afford a torque wrench, which they need badly huh

They will always want to improvise.
So next time, please ask those on ground and don't just condemn us, it actually makes some people agitated. And from what I've known on Nairaland since I've been visiting since about 2011 or so - No be everybody sabi take/absorb words for understanding.

I think he is bit confuse , which is understandable , is 2020 Tucson is not built for the USA market and 20w50 can be used.. So I guess he thinks that applies to all Tucson......

So the USA Tucson as a totally different engine 2.0gdi and 2.4gdi , I didn't even know that until I read the owners manual ..

I think his own tucson uses different transmission fluid from the USA version..... Unfortunately those cars built for the African market tend not to have the same quality as the USA built..... Elantra built for African market has a 1.6liter engine and the USA version has a 2.0liter engine .. African built engine version don't last too long and they cheaper in the market.. I can go on and on .....

Another example... some Benz built or assemble for the USA market will tend to have recalls due to the point that those parts are coming from different countries .....

But the Benz built in Germany are better built and last longer and will have less issues than the USA counter part.. Same with some Japanese cars ..... All these stuff didn't make sense until an I read an article about it years ago and it made perfect sense ....but if u don't read u won't know

Well, he may not be in the car business like you. You have a broader knowledge because you engage in a business that makes you learn and know more about cars.

His Hyundai was not built in the USA .. His version and the USA have different engine . The USA version has a GTi engine... Unfortunately the guy thinks are cars are built the same ..... The USA version will always be superior than other version..... This is why is always important to read owners manual .. The USA version will cost more in the market

Well, you can force a horse to the river, but not to drink. He has made a decision from his manual, I think we should leave him be.
Others might learn from you, but he won't

For my car, Hyundai Tucson 2020 model, for my temperature range...0-50 degrees Celsius, the manufacturer recommends 20W50

Since you are following the owners manual (even snapping to show it), then there's no argument with you �

Industrial machines like?

Be it as it may, I'm not based in the USA where you mentioned.

Remember that Vecton 15W40 exists for diesel engines and its synthetic blend

Hi, please what's your car make/model and what does the manufacturer say about the engine oil?

I really love this!!! I'm glad Nigerians are getting to know about the gospel of grace and not the 10 commandment Christianity we once knew. Gradually, people will begin to realize that they don't need pastors or "spirikoko" people to pray for them and bless them. Embracing Christ and His finished work at the cross is all we need. Thanks for this Op

Yeah right. Many have become slaves to what was supposed to set them free. It also shows in people who don't want anything to do with politics because they think it's evil - so sad.
Anyway, I pray that God brings up His own labourers for this harvest.

Pass the next person a crumb and a drop, and the world would be great.
