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.
That is true, brotherbear. People usually assume that an animal's strength hits its max when the animal stops moving the object.
In reality, the animal is just curious or investigating such as cases where bears rattle a 700-pound dumpster to detect certain substances or food types, and people assume the bears can't tilt or lift it. But when the bear is angered...
I think there is a video where a polar bear pulls up a 2.5 ton bull walrus straight out of the Arctic ice/ocean. The bear wasn't really trying to aggressively tug; it was just trying to carefully free the walrus out of the water while trying to maintain its grip.
I have seen big, muscular people turn surprised when an angered kid with mental illness flips over a filing cabinet or pounds a hole on a side of a metal refrigerator (my third male cousin has degenerative autism and myogenesis, a double-muscle condition.)
