They can open their jaws 75 – 80 degrees. > Tasmanian devils have 42 teeth but these are not replaced after birth. They continue to grow all throughout the devil’s life and the growth is gradual. Dogs do replace their teeth. > They can exert a force of 553 N (56.4 kgf). Thanks to its large head and big jaw-opening, Tasmanian devils can tear apart any meat including the hardest of the bones. https://tasmaniandevil.net/tasmanian-devil-teeth/ https://tasmaniandevil.net/tasmanian-devil-teeth/ the video in this link has more tidbits and is cute as hell.
