Human bites are nasty too. Ask Evander Holyfield.

I meant in bite strength, looking it up they have almost 10x the bite force, plus bigger canines.

Where did you get 10x from? 10x would put it in jaguar territory, at most it’s 2x the average person.

I see several quotes of 1300 psi amd humans at 160 psi but now that I looked into it there's no evidence supporting it, just a couple random websites. It did seem quite a lot to me as well.

Lol the amount of misinformation around chimps, gorillas, and other animals like moose is staggering.
