powerful jaws
Strong gripping teeth
Powerful jaws describes the strong biting apparatus of animals like sharks, crocodiles, or large cats—creatures whose jaw muscles and bone structure enable them to crush, tear, or grip with great force.
The phrase appears frequently in nature documentaries and wildlife writing: The hyena's powerful jaws can crack bone.
Extended to dogs, it often carries undertones of danger or breed-specific anxiety.
