Bite force research is a scientific field that focuses on understanding the strength and mechanics of an animal's bite. This research involves studying the anatomy of the jaw muscles, teeth, and skull structures in various species to determine how they contribute to the animal's bite force. By studying bite force, researchers can gain insights into an animal's feeding behavior, diet, and ecological niche. Additionally, understanding bite force can also have practical applications in fields such as biomechanics, engineering, and dentistry.
