Giant fish had monster bite

I found Dunkleosteus quite interesting as it is "ARMOUR-PLATED" fish.

Quote:
"MEET Dunkleosteus, a four-tonne, 10-metre, armour-plated fish that was arguably the first king of the beasts. The monstrous fish cruised the oceans 400 million years ago, preying on creatures much larger than itself, its blade-like fangs adept at tearing its quarry in two.

Using fossilised skull remains, scientists have built up a biomechanical model of the fish's powerful jaw and surrounding musculature, and they say it had the strongest bite of any fish ever to exist."

I was shocked as well when I first read the news...
I never knew a fish can have a bite that strong, if I am not mistaken this fish's bite is stronger than dinosaurs, right?

You are right. That fish's bite is very strong.
