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.

Bear Strength

@brotherbear,

I severely doubt that a grizzly is stronger/more powerful than a polar bear/black bear/most bears at weight parity.

Although the brown bear has a larger chest, shorter limbs, thicker hindlimbs, and bigger shoulder area for pushing and short-ranged movements, a polar bear will have a larger forequarter circumference/body area ratio together with longer limbs, thus providing it more pulling strength (similar to big cats), long-ranged movements, and more strength related to arm movements in general.

A polar bear's long and thick neck is utilized more towards dragging prey, whilst that of most other bears is utilized for side-to-side shaking of whatever they have hunted/foraged.

As for paw swipe force? A 50/50 to me. Although, the brown bear has the shoulder and short-arm advantage, a polar bear has thicker arms (more fast-twitch fibers), thus providing for more faster (powerful) swipe, as well as denser arm bones to add to the impact.

Not necessarily stronger, but stronger in different ways.
