I got a bone to pick with this kind of diagram. Everyone likes to talk about how much better other animals are at things than us, but if you look at animals holistically, humans are really fuckin good at everything. Like yeah there's a bunch of animals that are faster than us, a bunch of animals that bites stronger than us, a bunch of animals that are more muscular than us, but we're consistently in like the top 10% overall

Finna make a version of this meme where it's mice and iguanas

All this picture says is basically "the bigger the jaw, the more biting force". And then it compares animals with bigger jaws than humans
