Bear and Strong Human Skeletons
"A skeleton of a large, 650-pound brown bear is shown compared to that of a exceptionally strong modern human."
"Even though the bear has twice the muscle mass than the strong human, its bone diameters are at least four times greater than those of the human's, accounting for most of the bear's bones."
"Not to also mention the much greater bone mineral density of the bear and greater cross-sectional bone robusticity, and a monster with 'bones like titanium' is born..."

"Male Brown Bear Mates with Female Polar Bear"
"Upon the northern river banks of Denali National Park with freezing temperatures and a snow-layered climate, an 800-pound male brown bear allows a 700-pound large female polar bear to nuzzle his nose with a lick, all of this over a freely-flowing river. The couple, although different in species, seemed to be well adapted to each other: the male was a larger, stronger, dominant bear and the female was just....a female to mate with. The duo then walked towards the path of the river, fur-rubbing and playing each other, until they disappeared over the mountainous hill-side...."

This was a little simplistic, and un-revised sketch that I did of a tiger fighting off a strange alien creature, in one of my final exam's breaks:

"Sumatran Tiger Roams Across Volcanic Indonesian Landscape"
"A dominant, male Sumatran Tiger walks across a plains floor staring at the cameraman in hopes of not to be spooked by a devastating, death-looming sight of the intimidating volcano."

Just bought myself a new sketchbook. Drawings look so much better on it now, instead of the distracting line paper that I conventionally use.

Tiger Musculature (One)
Here are the initial stages of a robust Bengal Tiger's musculature with the muscle fibers filled in within each individual muscle:

You're anatomical drawing are excellent @Polar !

my own version of Lion King.
everytime i imagine a male lion i see him just like in this picture

This is how i portray lions as royal and majestic animal.
Brave, calm, confident and truly deserves the title 'the king'.
my drawing pencil colored using adobe photoshop. i hope you guys like it.

Awesome @phatio , glad to hear from you again!
RE: Drawings in zoos... - Polar - 01-15-2017
@phatio,
Holy moly, that lion drawing is so detailed! But I like your tiger portraits a lot more...

Tiger Musculature (Full)
Here, the tiger's muscles and muscle fibers are colored according to fiber type. The muscular anatomy doesn't match the exact muscular anatomy of a real tiger, but the muscle fiber types do more so. Muscle may also not be differentiated very well, either, due to the addition of color.
Fast-twitch fibers are bright pink, and slow-twitch fibers are red. Notice how most muscles have a preference of one fiber type over the other in the tiger drawing (like in real tigers), and carnivores pretty much have the same rule applied to them.
Primates including us, however, usually have a 50/50 split of the two fiber types in most muscles, with the exception of heel muscles and stabilizer muscles in the back and neck (to keep out posture longer), in which the former is quite fast-twitch and the latter is more slow-twitch.

@tigerluver,
Thanks! I do quite well when it comes to musculature/skeletal design of many animals, but the musculature morphology of my drawing don't usually match the real musculature morphology of the animals in question.
I like studying about muscle function, fibers, and molecular differences in muscles sometimes.

Armageddon
"In an alternate Earth, an injured Barbary Lion strolls up to an older Atlas Bear. Both first gaze at the impending comet speedily arriving at their habitat: a large, fiery comet of dense space-material. The African relative of our Grizzly Bear then proceeds to lick the large-maned lion's face, as if he were comforting him for the impending doom ahead."
"Numerous scars wreck the lion's visible coat, yet the lion seems unfazed by them....looking straight at the generous bear as if to ignore his fateful doom."

@Spalea,
What did you draw these with?

The animals into zoos ? With pencils, lead pencils, HB and 2B (medium and soft tender pencils)...
