Not to be steppin in the ongoing debate about the worth and character of pit bulls, but aren’t pits also a strong jawed sort of critter? Isn’t the problem that they readily do bring down “prey” much larger than themselves?

I’d like to see some evidence why they think Thylacine couldn’t do it..perhaps something with their legs, or musculature?

There was a study released a few weeks ago that said dingos, while smaller, had much stronger jaws.

I may be mistaken but it seems that I’ve read that they had an unusual jaw structure. Apparently they could open their mouths much wider than normal. Almost unhinged like a snake.
