Bear Strength

[Roberto]

Well, Johnny rex asked this at post # 211:

Is there any book or source that said bears have greater bone density?

So i answered perfectly with probably the only bone robusticity study that we have on forums. The answer is that even the smallest species of bear have more robust limb bones than big cats. (Humerus)

 The bears are extremely robust, even the smaller species, which should not have extreme thickening of the limb bones that larger species do. Most have humerus's as or more robust (based off of ML diameter) than any big cat.
