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.

I agree, bears normally have good stamina. A grizzly was once witnessed to run at a good speed for 10 straight miles non-stop and then actively attempt to hide his trail while walking. Perhaps the big coastal bears and polar bears have less stamina; but on this matter I'm uncertain. But perhaps this is off topic. It has nothing to do with diet.
I need some info about the topic "Bear stamina". So, I'm asking you this..
What is the percentage of slow twitch (type 1) muscle fibers in adult male brown bears?
And what is it when compared with tigers and lions?
I'm asking this because, I think you know more about Grizzlies than anyone here.
