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 says: ~~ once again we are talking about animals of the same size. No we're not. We're talking about grizzly bears and tigers. Sorry to break the bad news to you, but a tiger might weigh from 300 pounds to 700 pounds; a grizzly from 300 pounds to 1500 pounds.
Tigers, as are all pantherines, are specialized ambush predators, built for stealth, speed, and agility. Sure, a tiger is strong, but strength is secondary to a tiger's needs. The grizzly is built for brute strength, for digging into hard ground, for overturning heavy objects, and for tearing into trees and stumps for food.
You take a healthy male grizzly ( summer weight ) and compare him with a healthy male tiger at size parity in reference to height and length, and I would bet all I own down to my boxers that the bear is superior in over-all strength.
