Animal Strength Feats

A leopard being able to drag prey up the tree displays its strength. Big cats that are apex predators tend to take down more large prey than big cats which live in areas where there are more powerful predators. The leopard is capable of killing prey up to the size of kudu but rarely kill these animals as it is unable to drag a kudu up the tree and might end up getting rob of its food or even killed.

Well, more muscle is more strength, that´s clear. So if we take biggest bears and biggest cats, there is nothing to discuss really and I don´t see any point to compare these animals in that way. 

Then again we have bears at same size as are big cats and there it´s a different game. We all know what certain posters always say about differences of these animals and how their anatomy is evolved to different purposes. But if wee look at dragging for instance, big cats have really nothing to be ashamed. Close call. Even though so far I personally see that one video with a bear and bison carcass to be maybe most impressive I´ve ever seen. Who knows what big cats show one day, when there is some lucky guy with camera, time will tell.

This latest video with lion from @Spalea is nice, but honestly that carcass is mostly skin and bones anymore, not as impressive as videos where carcass is still practically intact. Reply
