When the opening is presented, two wolves typically charge the rear and clamp their powerful jaws on the hind legs, while the third will seize the throat in a crushing bite.
The model also reveals that the bone-crushing bite sends strong compressive and shear forces to the top of the skull, which might explain why Tyrannosaurids have such enlarged nasal bones and why they are fused together from an early age.
This crushing bite adds a third point of contact and supports the forelimbs in immobilizing prey [38].
While rummaging through the records at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Maestripieri noticed that, like humans, rhesus macaques abused as infants were likely to become abusive parents themselves- tossing, crushing, and bithemselves- tossing
Following an exhaustive anatomical analysis (see video of skull), the researchers say this juvenile, which was about the size of an adult human, was not able to crush bone or exert strong bite and twisting forces with its jaw like its parents.
Or, for the more intrepid, Stump Farm, Bone Crusher and Snake Bite?
Think of it like this: skillfully selecting the very best dish on a menu, after choosing amongst the very best restaurants, out of the very best neighborhoods, of the very best town of the very best city… only to have Godzilla appear out of nowhere and stomp and crush it all mid-bite.
The plants deploy them when their tissues are breached by biting, crushing or cutting.
The camera lingers on ripe apples, luscious strawberries and fields of trembling tulips; fruits are smashed and petals are crushed, plucked and bitten.
The chemicals are kept apart in the plant tissue, but when the tissues are crushed (as when bitten by an insect) they mix and toxic mustard oil is produced.
