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.

Which are stronger pound for pound Herbivores or Carnivores?

Cheetahs can run over 500 meters, lions seldom more than 100 meters. Obviously these two predators are not in the same category. Lions are ambush predators like tigers. But because they often hunt in more open spaces and in pride they can combine their efforts and thus, be more efficient over a bigger area than a solitary felid hunter.

Bears don't run as fastly as the felids but yes, despite their weight and morphology, they don't lack stamina and can run over longer distances.

Wild canids are pursuit predators par excellence. They are able to run and hunt over several kilometers and, in numbers, to kill an exhausted big prey.

IMO, "pound for pound" herbivores aren't stronger than predators. Of course, because of their weight (more than 600 kilos to 1200 kilos), big bovids are stronger, muscularly speaking, than any felid. But why would be they more performing "pound for pound" ?
