Bite force quotient (BFQ) is a numerical value commonly used to represent the bite force of an animal adjusted for its body mass, while also taking factors like the allometry effects. The BFQ is calculated as the regression of the quotient of an animal's bite force in newtons divided by its body mass in kilograms. [ 1 ]

It is an omnivore, with a diet varying greatly depending on season and location. It typically lives in largely forested areas but will leave ...
The Tasmanian devil has the most powerful bite relative to body size of any living mammalian carnivore, with a Bite Force Quotient of 181 and exerting a canine bite force of 553 N (124 lb f). [ 41 ] [ 42 ] The jaw can open to 75–80 degrees, allowing the devil to generate the large amount of power to tear meat and crush bones [ 38 ...
The force at the third molar rivals the bite force of the largest crocodilians. The bites would induce stresses across the skull: 24.8 MPa (3,600 psi) for a bite at the incisors, 23.4 MPa (3,390 psi) at the premolars, and 27.4–39.1 MPa (3,970–5,670 psi) across the molars.
The most painful bite, the one that went “right to the bone” and elicited Burke’s scream, brought the bear in for what Burke believes was supposed to be the “kill bite.”
The Asian black bear's range overlaps with that of the sloth bear in central and southern India, the sun bear in Southeast Asia and the brown bear in the southern part of the Russian Far East. [1] Asian black bears seem to intimidate Himalayan brown bears in direct encounters.
