AI synopsis
What people are saying
The overall discussion reflects high interest and moderate agreement, with numerous mentions of the significance of fossil evidence, such as the clarification that dire wolves were real and distinct from modern wolves, and references to scientific studies. The tone varies from factual and educational to enthusiastic, demonstrating both curiosity and respect for the scientific research and its broader implications.
Many discussions support the validity of the study and its findings, especially with references to reputable research and popular scientific discussions about predatory behavior and fossil animals.
The topic appears highly engaging, with multiple posts expressing excitement about new discoveries, discussions about extinct species, and debates around methodology and relevance.
Participants actively analyze details, reference scientific papers, and correct misconceptions, indicating a moderate level of deep engagement with the subject matter.
The widespread sharing of discoveries about dire wolves and the importance of the study suggests a meaningful influence on public understanding of paleontology and animal biomechanics.
Abstract in brief
- The study predicts bite force (BS) in both living and fossil mammals, using a bite force quotient (BFQ) that accounts for body size, revealing that marsupials generally have higher BS relative to their size than placentals.
- Extinct predators like the marsupial lion and dire wolf showed high BFQ values, implying they likely preyed on large animals, while animals like Smilodon and Thylacosmilus had lower BFQ, suggesting different hunting methods.
- High BFQ in modern predators correlates with large prey size and hypercarnivory, but anatomical differences in fossils mean that bite force estimates should be combined with other morphological evidence to accurately infer their predatory behaviors.]

@BlackEsau_ @BogardGreedy @why_the_horse @MunstaMasta Yes, Prof. Stephen Wroe's studies on bite force. No doubt gorillas bite hard but not more than a lion ''Bite club: comparative bite force in big biting mammals and the prediction of predatory behaviour in fossil taxa'' ''The craniomandibular mechanics of being human''
Oh wait — proper dire wolves were not actually that closely related to grey wolves youtu.be/aSqjiJQehek?...
