These data are used to estimate the maximum potential bite force of T. rex, which is between about 183,000 and 235,000 N for a bilateral bite. The relationship between maximum prey body mass and predator body mass among the same living vertebrates is used to infer the likely maximum size...
UC Berkeley’s Jack Tseng, seen peering through the eye socket of an adult T. rex, explains why he measured the bite force of a juvenile T. rex, and what that tells us about the tyrannosaur’s lifestyle. Credit: UC Berkeley video by Roxanne Makasdjian and Jeremy Snowden,...
rex-size, the bird's bite would then be 320 times stronger than that of its extinct cousin, the scientists reported. [Image Gallery: The Life of T. Rex] These new findings don't suggest that T. rex didn't have a devastating bite. Rather, they indicate that the force of a T. rex...
The iconic T. rex presumably had powerful jaws, according to computer simulations of the dinosaur king. When factoring in the sharpness of its teeth, estimates of the dino's bite force skyrocket, Huber said. But part of that total force comes from not just bite force but also the extra bi...
When Bates and Falkingham used computer models to simulateT. rex’sbite, the result was “quite surprising,” Bates told us: a maximum bite force of almost 12,800 pounds, about the equivalent of an adultT. rex’sbody weight (or 13 Steinway Model D concert grand pianos) slamming do...
—Why did T. rex have such tiny arms? "In general, the sharper the tooth tip, the higher the potential bite force given the same input muscle force, because any such force would be concentrated at the tip of a tooth," Tseng added. Not all animals with a huge bite force are enormous...
an associate professor of anatomy in the MU School of Medicine. “When you put a lot of force on things, there’s a tradeoff between movement and stability. Birds and lizards have more movement but less stability. When we applied their individual movements to theT. ...
Suddenly, the color really takes hold everywhere else. And just like that, pink pants, a pink shirt, and pink gloves force a smile out of you with this outfit’s overwhelming calming effect. Let’s not ignore that color kissing up to his neck with a flower to match on his lapel. And...
Building nuclear weapons and advancing a missile program isn't cheap. The new sanctions, banning major North Korean exports such as coal and iron, are designed to starve the regime of the money to pay for it --money that is also used to enrich the powerful elites and generals who, in tu...
