Auspex Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Stabbing would do the job; hard to imagine the engineering necessary to leverage a forceful bite from a jaws-wide-open position anyway, is it not? Modern cats (the leopard is cited) bite-and-hold large prey (often by the wind pipe), rather than impaling them, so bite strength is more important for them.
