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.

Sometimes, the fur may make the grizzly's shoulder hump appear larger than it is, but point is the shoulder hump is a natural, morphological feature of bears in general. Trust me on this, I felt a mound of shoulder muscle on polar bears (although not as big as brown bears) too in my 2014 PBI trip.
Also, an aggressive bear isn't stronger than an already strong bear. A mad human isn't pound-for-pound stronger than a calmer chimpanzee.
So does smaller tigers from specific areas in India. They too have the shoulder hump as impressive.
I agree. Bears have impressive humps. But let me show you (if you are willing) my markings on how much the fur makes it's shoulder hump extra massive than the above mentioned tigers. The blades must be seperate in case of big cats allowing free movement from both paws from the shoulder while a fully muscular shoulder does not allow as much flexible movement as in case of big cats.
So, you are comparing a human to sloth bear and chimpanzee to grizzly bear? Are they really that much muscular?
