Which are stronger pound for pound Herbivores or Carnivores?

For brute strength, though, I think an average, full-grown male Bengal Tiger can horizontally pull at most three tons of weight with his forelimbs, and a little over one ton with just his jaws. A gaur (2000-pound one), assuming it would pull in the mannerism that a draft horse or an ox would, can pull up to fifteen tons due to a greater muscle mass percentage than the ox and a larger size than the ox (a single ox weighing 1000-pounds can pull five tons). Also, I do think wild bovines are pound-for-pound stronger than their domestic counterparts, as with most wild animals and domesticated animals. The tiger uses his arms/jaws, and the gaur is holstered here.

If comparing pulling weight/body weight ratios between the two, it would compute this:

Tiger (jaws) = 5 - 5.2x body weight
Tiger (forelimbs) = 13.75 - 15x body weight
Gaur (holstered) = 15x body weight

Note how the tiger and the guar are similar in pound-for-pound horizontal pulling strength, but in different ways. As stated earlier, strength is difficult to assess, but I would easily give the edge to an equally-sized tiger. Reply
