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.
Yes polar, being alpha predators in their ecosystem and facing every animal including elephants and evolving and proving every time as alpha predators in their ecosystem from time to time with lot of hurdles in between must have made their muscles strong and robust. You can see there are cases of tigers attacking and even killing elephants. Taking example of Bengal tiger there are cases where fight took for several hours and at last the pachyderm is killed. Even in water they don't seem to be afraid of crocodiles though there are few cases here and there where tiger was killed while swimming in deep waters. They have evolved as SUPREME predators. So their muscles too must have developed to be much stronger as per a RHYTHM as I have explained in canines and claws thread. They are deeply muscular. All this must have contributed for their muscular development since generations and ages.
