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.

There is no doubt, that tiger is very strong animal. I am just curious about reality. Jim Corbett for instance gives a lot of stories... but I think, that I am not only one, who doesn´t take all what he say as most credible source. I am just reading book "Tiger! Tale of Indian tiger" by Kailash Sankhala and I noticed, that he is one of those who doesn´t take all, what for instance Corbett writes, too seriously. Hunters have bad habit to exaggerate their prey in many ways to glorify themselves as great hunters or justify killing tigers by exaggerating how much they kill people... and many other things.
I like to discuss about things in realistic level and compare what is told, to that what can be proven. Or is there any footage or photos to give a hint, that what might be in possible limits. Stories like bear decapitating a moose with one swipe of paw are just..... well, impossible is impossible, no matter how it is told :)
You haven't provided proof for your "friend" dragging carcass. Just a word.
I don't know about "bear decapitating moose". But I'm yet to see your proves for your own claims.
Also, personally I have a question: why you have a tendency to criticize about a particular animal prowess, which is sometimes ranked above your so called bears? I mean, you criticised about gorilla strength successfully. And now tiger strength.
But when, i merely criticised about Kodiak bear weights. I got " warnings" and all turned into defensive way...
I know, you're not gonna listen whatever the others say until they get bored and leave the discussion. Because, I already met you on YouTube. Have a nice day!
I criticize all myths because I am curious to see, what can be found and if I am missing something. I have looked closer also to bear strength and I already found one study here on this forum, which was confirmed to be a fake from university, which was referred there. I have at this moment a query about other study about bears, which I think, that is a fake too. Reason is, that I haven´t been able to track down any scientist or other people mentioned in it. Also I haven´t found that study anywhere in internet. Usually when you can find something in only one place with people, who don´t exist, someone has just made it up. But I wait until I am 100% sure before I say more about that second case.
Kodiak weights are in other thread and everyone can read there what I criticized if interested.
What comes to animal strength, I am interested about reality. What can be proven, what is then plausible and what is just myths/fairy tales. I am not criticizing these animals, I like all of them, tigers, lions, bears etc. But for instance about this Corbett, your countryman Kailash Sankhala is one who also criticizes many old stories. Still he loves tigers more than anything, I think. I love tigers too, one of my all time favorite animals.
