Boerboel's Bite Force Intensity: Witness the Power Yourself!

The Boerboel, or South African Mastiff, is a giant dog breed with a lot of power. Weighing as much as 200 pounds, this breed has a bite force equivalent to 450 pounds of pressure per square inch (PSI). This may fall some way short of the wolf, with a staggering bite pressure of 1,500 PSI but is one of the most forceful dog bites and getting close to the pressure of a lion’s bite, which has approximately 600 PSI...

PSI (pounds per square inch) is a pressure (force per unit area), or Pascals in SI units (Newtons per square meter). Force is measured in plain old Newtons or lbf in old units. I can easily bite with a force of 2lbs on one square millimetre (sorry to mix units!), meaning that my bite is over 1200psi. Impressed? If I could bite with 50lbs force on one square inch I manage a not so impressive 50psi. Pressure is an absolutely irrelevant unit to use for comparative purposes unless the area upon which is exerted is specified or standardised. Getting basic physical units like this so wrong suggests a fundamental ignorance of basic science and makes as much sense as saying that my car has a top speed of 100 miles, or that my fuel consumption is 15 litres.
