Top Ten Most Powerful Predators

The Top Ten
1 Killer Whale The Orca, or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member.

Personally I like the GreatWhite more- but... The Orca is in a class of it's own.

Orcas are deadly, but they're my favorite animal

2 Siberian Tiger The Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur tiger, is a tiger population inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alin mountain region with a small population in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East.

The Siberian Tiger for me
Is the most powerful animal in the world
Because she can kill a Grizzly Bear and when she attacks has a very good speed for pick the victims.

I think that these are amazing animals, but they are endangered! Save tigers!

They are known to kill huge brown bears. And bull rhinos, moose and deer

3 Great White Shark The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the white shark, white pointer, or simply great white, is a species of large mackerel shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. It is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing to 6.1 m (20 ft) in length and 1,905–2,268 kg (4,200–5,000 lb) in weight at maturity. However, most are smaller; males measure 3.4 to 4.0 m (11 to 13 ft), and females measure 4.6 to 4.9 m (15 to 16 ft) on average. According to a 2014 study, the lifespan of great white sharks is estimated to be as long as 70 years or more, well above previous estimates, making it one of the longest lived cartilaginous ...read more.

They can sense a single drop of blood in over a thousand drops of blood, a hundred litres.

Personally this is the best.

4 Saltwater Crocodile The saltwater crocodile, also known as the estuarine crocodile, Indo-Pacific crocodile, marine crocodile, sea crocodile or informally as saltie, is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest riparian predator in the world.

Its max. Bite force is about 4 tons, almost as the T-Rex bite.
Crocs have the most powerful bite over any other animal, even killer/sperm whales.
One saltie bite on orca's body and orca is finished. You sau orcas hunt sharks? Crocs too.

Stronger bite force than all these predators

However, unlike their smaller cousins, these sharks are real gentle. ...read more.

Whale sharks shouldn't be on this list. They're not predators, they're filter feeders.
