Animal Strength Feats

[Polar]

As we all know, big cats are all capable of extremely amazing feats, even on a pound-for-pound basis. A juvenile or full-grown tiger or lion can drag adult bull buffalo/guar carcasses and can explosively jump lengths deemed impossible for most other animals of the same size. Here are a few videos proving the amazing strength and power of big cats:

Boldchamp uploaded this quite a long time ago, and in this test, the lion sucessfully registered a pull (more like a push-pull?) of about 1500 pounds. However, the incentive (small meat piece) was not as exciting to the lion as a full grown Cape Buffalo or other prey, and it didn't even look like the lion was trying, mainly frustrated with the inadequate piece of meat being tied to a rope.


There was also another video displaying a Siberian tigress hitting a force-measuring stick attached to a golf ball: her hit registered 1400-pounds of force. She did it with extreme ease and the swipe looked to be extremely fast for her weight. Imagine what she could do if excited or angered...?

Another video of a usual-sized lion dragging a dead buffalo carcass (looks to be more than 1200-pounds) with ease. The cameraman might have distracted the lion a bit, and the lion took a break to monitor the cameraman.


Don't ever underestimate the power of big cats. Reply
