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.

~~Pckts, I have watched two separate videos of grizzly bears killing caribou both in a similar situation. Both were small Yukon grizzlies, one a male the other a she-bear with cubs. In both fights, the bear worked himself between the deer's antlers ( something a tiger would never attempt ). If I am remembering right, the she-bear drowned the caribou and the male bear broke the caribou's neck. I have watched tigers feeding on gaur, but yet to see actual footage of the kill.We are not talking about dragging a carcass. But on that topic, grizzlies have been known to drag bison, moose, or huge steers, sometimes up mountain sides. How much weight has a tiger been seen *carrying in his jaws up off the ground? Have you watched a tiger play with a dumpster like it was a beach ball. Can you show me a tiger overturning a one-ton boulder? Grizzlies have been known to break into the side of log cabins and have been known to break into a garage door. They are known to destroy cars, while you are safe in a car from a tiger if your doors are locked.~~Words of Wisdom from Boxingman... Bears use brute strength and stamina far more than big cats do ...When the bear search for food they use the shoulders,chest and legs to do the job and when he flips over huge stones or trees to get food the bear trains his muscles..The big cats do not work like the bear to get food...Bears do in fact train their body by using power movements all the time and their body structure is as said shorter and more compact which is always better than being long and lean as far as pure strength is concerned. Big cats are built for explosive speed combined with power but the bear is all about explosive power with lesser speed, so the bear has developed more brute strength and sacrificed explosive speed...
