Despite their formidable reputation, attacks on humans are rare, yet the Black Caiman’s bite is known to be one of the most robust and powerful bites in the animal kingdom.
The teeth are also covered with a hard enamel layer that makes them more resilient, allowing them to break through the tough hides of animals such as wild pigs and giant turtles.
The upper and lower jaws of the Black Caiman fit together like a puzzle, with the teeth of the upper jaw interlocking with those of the lower jaw, providing added stability and strength to the bite.
The bite force of a large Black Caiman can exceed 4000 PSI, making it one of the strongest bites of any animal on earth.The bite force of a large Black Caiman can exceed 4000 PSI, making it one of the strongest bites of any animal on earth.
