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.

I think it's relative.
What do you mean by "explosive?"
Is it excelerating to the fastest speed on land?
Leaping over a fence or high wall in a single bound?
Climbing a tree while holding carrying something larger than it self?
Because a cat is unmatched there... Or do you mean running at full speed for long distances?
Grappling and shoving with extreme force?
Sustained power? Overturning heavy rocks and digging?
Then a bear is unmatched there.
But when I think of "explosive power" I see no animal on land that comes close to a cat but that isn't a slight against bears, that's what cats are built for.
Quick explosive actions of pure violence while a bear is built for a long battle where the stronger one reigns supreme.
If you wanted an example I would look into which has more quick twitch muscle fibers, to my knowledge, the big cat is almost unmatched in this example but that's what I mean by "relative."
