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 one with pulling tests and also "weight lifting" test. It seems to be difficult or impossible to find from internet. I would ask, that where did you find that? I know, that all reports aren´t there to see publicly, at least not for free naturally. But still I couldn´t find anything about it and it would be nice to know where did you find it :)
I actually had it on my Google Drive a while ago, but accidentally deleted it since I wanted to clear my storage of my previous year's worth of university assignments and whatnot. I do remember finding this on a thread on ShaggyGod (a ProBoards style site), which is another forum about bears, more-so with a focus on the grizzly, although I don't think the thread is there anymore since they deleted a lot of their older threads and made new derivations.
Ok, then I have to figure out how to find it because I really want to see original too. Not that I would have doubts, but to have it just in case if someone else has. Those results are simply impressive. I know, that some lighter weight powerlifters can also lift same results pound to pound what comes to that "deadlift" test, but they do that with extreme effort and frankly speaking with steroids. So having a young bear doing same effortlessly is something so different. One is lifting so, that almost shitting pants to get it barely up from ground and another does it casually like seeing a coin on ground and picking it to pocket :)
