Since there is no official chart to rely on, we could assume that the wolf has a strong bite force PSI that rivals that of any dog. But there have been no official studies or surveys done to determine the average bite force PSI of a wolf. If the wolf were going on the offensive, its bite force PSI would likely be much higher. However, this bite force PSI was measured using a defensive bite. Wolves have a bite force PSI of about 406, which is thought to be one of the strongest in the dog kingdom. Here is what you should know about the strength of a wolf’s bite force and how it compares to different types of dogs in existence today. Different breeds have a wide variety of different bite force PSIs to consider. We can gauge the bite force of an average wolf, but its bite force compared to that of a dog depends on what kind of dog the wolf is being compared to. So, how strong is a wolf’s bite force, and how does it compare to a dog’s bite force PSI? The higher the PSI, the more strength the bite has overall. The force of pressure in pounds per square inch is the PSI of an animal’s bite force. When we talk about the strength of an animal’s bite, we refer to it as bite force PSI. If you were bitten by a wolf, you can bet that it would hurt, but how much? Could a wolf bite kill you? It all comes down to the bite force PSI that the wolf has. While toothless bites aren’t too concerning, when we talk about powerful animals with big teeth, like wolves, we should worry about the force of their bites.

Who would have believed that this eel-like fish with the menacing face, can actually have a partner for his whole life and protect their offspring as caring as they do? After the youngsters are hatched they are left on their own to swim in the ocean until they mature and settle in a den. It takes four months for their eggs to hatch. Male and Female wolf eel cuddling in their ned We should mention that at most cases, the female usually share their den with her mate and apparently they mate for life. It’s nice to cuddle in the cold waters, isn’t it? Indeed they take turns protecting them and at times it has been observed that the male can curl around the female that is curled around their eggs. The females lay up to 10.000 eggs and both the parents protect the developing eggs by curling their bodies around them. The wolf eels form pairs at 4 years old and their spawning time of year is from October to late winter. Would you dare feed them? : ) Spawning Behavior: However they may become irritated and are capable of inflicting painful bites to divers. The Wolf Eels are generally curious and feeding them is a popular activity amongst divers. The wolf eels may reach up to 204.3 cm and yes, this is 2 meters and 4.3 centimeters! (or 7ft 10 in), not to mention 18.4 (41 lb) in weight! They can live up to 25 years. The younger eels usually are orange with darker stripes. The body of the male wolf eels is mostly gray, while the female have a brownish color. Their strong jaws will simply crash any prey comes their way when they are hungry. Wolf eels feed on mussels, clams, sea urchins (!) and occasionally fish. They live in the North Pacific along North America’s coast, all the way from southern Alaska to California. Wolf eels are found in caves and rocky reefs and you may meet them in shallow water to a depth of 226 meters. They look more like a long eel-like fish, and if you only see their face, you will surely be confused. They actually belong to a fish group with the name “Perciform Fishes”. They have most of the eels’ characteristics, except that they also have a pectoral fin on each side of their body (which true eels do not have). The Wolf Eel (official name: Anarrhichtys Ocellatus) are fascinating creatures, master predators and caring parents.
