Furious Fangs- Dangerous Dentition of the Animal World



Not something you'd want to encounter, right? The above picture happens to be a crocodilian, one of many efficiently equipped predators of the present, reminiscent of Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, along with other familiar beasts of primeval days. Today, we shall observe these organic blades that line the mouths of so many reptilian kings...


-Eastern Diamondback-
The venom teeth of this serpent- well over an inch- produce an immediate burning sensation and later lead to excruciating death if left untreated. The fear of this animal has lasted from its discovery to the present, however, when left unmolested, the Diamondback is actually quite a peaceful species. in regards to large mammal such as humans. This fact inspired one of Our Nation's first flags-




Due to the harmless nature of the Diamondback when left alone, together with the strong contrast of action when wrongfully disturbed, the Patriots found the Eastern Diamondback a striking metaphor for the new U.S.A

-Orinoco Crocodile-
A truly immense animal, the Orinoco crocodile has been formally recorded as over 21 feet and 840+ pounds, making it the largest predator in South America. This animal hails from the Orinoco river region of Colombia and Venezuela, hence the name. With a bite force somewhat less than 1K psi, this is a formidable beast.

-Komodo Dragon-
This hulking reptilian form from Indonesia has the most unusual methods of prey dispatchment- with a bite force literally weaker then a house cat's, the dragon relies on the bulky neck muscles and potentially deadly saliva to take down large prey, such as water buffalo. The razorine dentition assist in the consumption of smaller meals.

-Saltwater Crocodile-
The leviathans of Australasia, the Saltwater Crocodiles rival the bite force of Tyrannosaurus.
At an estimated 7,700 psi bite force for 20- foot animals, these terrors of river and ocean dominate all known predators living today.
