Maybe their calculations are wrong, but lions and tigers arent stronger at parity than an average men. Well, I don't think their calculations are wrong. Because it's a research not an expert opinion or assumption. There's no scientific study has been conducted for tiger strength. But I got these two quotes, looks matching. "The tiger possesses tremendous strength and is capable of carrying off animals far larger and heavier then itself such as horses, cows and buffaloes. A tiger can transport a horse or a cow tens and even hundreds of meters from the place where it killed it, it being carried not dragged. Corbett tracked a tiger that carried a full-grown cow 4.0 miles (7.5km) away from the place of its kill. Another tiger dragged a killed bull 13.5 meters. The bull could not be moved by 13 men. A tigress was seen swimming across a river with a cow in her mouth. (Pocock). Once a tiger jumped into a pen, killed a calf, and catching it in its teeth, leaped back to rock situated 3.6 meters above the pens level. A tiger can carry a large wild boar in its teeth through dense rushes, jump onto rocks, and even climb a steep slope"... https://books.google.co.uk/books?dq=tiger+kills+bull+pocock+account&hl=en&id=UxWZ-OmTqVoC&lpg=PA178&ots=RFmRCg4sn2&pg=PA178&sa=X&sig=H3qmQj29Q2hSvgbzNIBOndHsu-k&source=bl&ved=0ahUKEwjzzaHclPTbAhVGQ8AKHa4ZBEoQ6AEInAEwGg#v=onepage&q=tiger%20kills%20bull%20pocock%20account&f=false Tigers are twelve times stronger than humans. http://www.four-paws.us/projects/big-cats/big-cats-issues/ If this is the case. The average tiger is only three times heavier than average human. And then, at parity tiger is upto 4 times stronger than human... |
