Allosaurus!

One of the largest, and most ferocious, apex predators to roam the globe, the Allosaurus took the baton from the even larger Tyrannosaurus as the ruler of giant prehistoric carnivores.

This ruthless, savage individual has been known, it must be said, to turn on one. Provoking the Allosaurus is not generally recommended, as a matter of course.

Wolverine!

The wolverine, obviously, is a rather formidable predator. Able to dispatch even as large an animal as an adult deer, I’d watch it, if I were you. Do you want to talk about titanic ferocity? Look no further.

Mongoose!

After these photos, it may seem obvious to point out the almost dæmoniacal ferocity of the mongoose. We especially point this out to the rodents, lizards and birds amongst our readers, as these individuals are most likely to be on the receiving end of this unfathomably savage, limb-strewing creature. However, they have their peaceful {seeming} moments.

Tamandua!

The Tamandua, though toothless, will nonetheless turn on you. If you happen to be, say, a termite, for example. They *do* possess savage gizzards, with which they mow down their hapless prey.

If one’s a fan of long, tubular snouts, the Tamandua is for you.

The Thylacine.

The Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger—the erstwhile largest carnivorous marsupial on planet Earth {alas…this wondrous beast met with extinction in 1936}—is presented in 3 formats: Alive; Art-ed; and Taxidermied.

The possessor of an estimated Bite Force Quotient in the range of 166, this onetime apex predator was quite formidable—and beautiful—indeed.

Wild Boar Piglets.

These, then, are Wild Boar Piglets. Though their Bite Force Quotient does not even remotely challenge that of, say, the Tasmanian Devil, for example, they are every bit as high-ranking on the Cuteness scale. A card-carrying Suid {artiodactyl}{even-toed ungulate}, the beast is also known as the wild swine, in case you were wondering. Behold these piglets.
