Not as impressive as i have thought. But in beasts it should be more higher IMHO.

I think we're making an error about the density.

The density of the muscle is always the same whatever the animals we're talking to, whether it's for the tiger or an human being: equal to the water density and a smidge higher (here you say 0, 006). Thus, if we don't panic (by swallowing water into the lungs), we're able to float onto the water (tiger or men...).

The density is always specified without unity. The density is the ratio of any matter weight/ the same water volume weight. Thus no one unity. 1,006 gm/cc isn' t a density but a volume weight (a volumetric weight).

The difference between the tiger and the other animals, for exemple men, is that the tiger's muscles are or are able to be considerably much more tensed. And also because the tiger's limb cross-section is much more important than the man's arm cross-section. But their muscles density is always roughly, approximately 1,006. Reply
