    Because my brain is fundamentally incompatible with imperial measurements:

    500psi is equivalent to about 35kg of weight stacked into a centimetre square (so 35bar / 3500kpa)

        I don’t think it matters how big the thing biting you is, just how likely it is to rip bits off.

        A weasel has nearly 4 times the Bite Force Quotient of a Moon Bear, but I’d take many Weasel bites before a single Moon Bear bite.
