Tyrannosaurus rex bite stronger than previously thought

The video discusses the use of laser scanners and computer models to digitize T Rex jaws and reconstruct jaw muscles to estimate bite force. Previous studies estimated the T Rex's bite force to be between 8,000 and 13,000 Newtons. However, a new study predicts a much higher bite force, ranging from 20,000 to 57,000 Newtons, comparable to the force of a medium-sized elephant sitting down.
