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.
Siegfried, I was not talking about fighting or predation. I was trying to explain to pckts that if you compare a tiger with a grizzly, both being healthy mature males, at height and length parity ( height and length in union ) then the grizzly will prove to be the more robust of the two. The Amur tiger and the Ussuri brown bear are very near size parity in this respect.
To compare them at weight parity, then you have a smaller bear compared to a larger tiger, proving nothing. It is about species vs species; the more robust of the two is the heavier of the two. Quite simple, is it not?
