There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

what do we mean by impressive predator?
If the criteria are its effects on the prey species, how much of prey it will kill in a given ecosystem then the supreme predators are as follows :
North America :
1-Wolf packs 2-Polar bear 3-Cougar 4-Brown Bear 5-Black Bear
Neotropics:
1-Jaguar 2-Cougar 3-Ocelot 4-Crocodilians 5-Anaconda
Sub-Saharan Africa:
1-Lion 2-Spotted Hyena 3-Leopard 4- Cheetah 5- Wild Dog
Tropical Asia:
1-Tiger 2-Leopard 3-Dhole 4- Clouded Leopard 5-Bears
Eurasia
1- Wolf packs 2-Polar Bears 3-Brown Bear 4- Asiatic black bear 5-Lynx
Note: restricted distribution animals like Gir lions, Amur tigers, Amur leopards were excluded.
These are the predators considered when we conduct conservation studies to evaluate prospects for predators.
I would put wolves before bears
