Bear Strength

[Sully]

Very interesting. There is a fact stated there that a bear can kill with one blow to the neck. But big cats are known to swipe at the jugular and if with correct contact that is almost always lethal. This is without carrying that "excess" weight as we are talking about hunting, at least in that bit. The superioir weaponary edges that cat for me, split differences like those do it for me. In terms of deadliness in relation to size the cat wins. At least in terms of whatever we are classifying as explosiveness.

If we are taking strength at face value, the bear wins. Blunt but true I'm sure we can agree as brotherbear has given examples of above. The bear is literally a powerhouse.

I don't really think it's fair to compare these animals though, not to sound too cliched but they have unmatchable abilities in what they have been evolved to do. The bear was evolved to fight face to face, to hunt using stamina, and to foriage using it's giant nasal cavity. The cat to move in stealthiness and dispatch of their prey using their weaponary instead of their "strength" really.

Defining power to suit both of these animals is near impossible if you want a fair comparison.

ps sorry if it sounds sloppy, it's pretty late and I'm really tired Reply
