A crocodile lost a tooth and tried in vain to bite through a tortoise shell in South Africa
The hunting of a waterfowl inhabitant of the Kruger African Reserve attracted the attention of a traveler who spent his leisure time in a conservation park.
A wildlife lover spent several minutes capturing how a toothy predator tried to bite through the shell of a poor amphibian.
The appearance of a competitor made the crocodile run away and continue to squeeze its powerful jaws.
However, Internet users questioned the origin of the blood in the mouth of a predator, believing that the turtle has practically no chance of salvation, since the bite force of crocodiles is 3,700 square inches (psi) or 16,460 newtons, unlike hyenas, lions and tigers capable of clenching their jaws with a force of 4450 Newtons.
Nevertheless, the most powerful bite force was recorded in the killer whale and it is equal to 84515 newtons.
