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.

The sketch of skeleton you posted is far from the real one. Here's the comparison of that sketch and real skeleton (posted by warsaw on shaggy god pro boards)...

Look at the real one. Despite the head was turned, the whole skeleton was in the right position. 
The sketch was actually overrated. 

Indeed the bear might have slightly larger overall. But that doesn't mean it has stronger bones. Infact a few years ago 'vodmeister' made a thread of morphological comparison of tigers and Brown bears. Here's it...
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/animalun...are_type=t

According to his data. The bears have more cavity (hollow space) in their bones as compared to tigers.
He gave values 55.65% of hollow space for bigcats.
And 59% of hollow space for Bears. Relatively thinner walls for bears as compared to Tige
According to that bigcats have more bone density than bears. Infact bears have latlar bones doesn't mean having stronger bones.

It really sounds quite reliable for me.

But unfortunately some of the images he posted were later removed from his 'Image shack' account.

I hope some of you guys had the information what he posted.

@Vegeta San

Was this a study with a good number of bears and tigers or was it a one-on-one comparison (most pictures were deleted)? The bear could be malnourished, bone deformity, or anything if it was only one bear compared to a tiger. More subjects would be needed to determine if tigers (in general) actually have thicker cortical bone than bears.

I don't know clearly how much but definitely numerous specimens. As he posted it many times on carnivora but no one pointed out or doubted at his data. He even posted it on AVA. I think one of you guys might had it. 

But there's some data I invisted. And it says tiger has strongest humerus than Lions. I think you guys may know about this already..

Tiger has more Ca (calcium) in their humerus.
While Lions has more Fe (iron) in their humerus.
Here's it..

I know iron was also one important element in bone strength. But calcium is the main factor.
And tigti also was rich in Si, P, S,K, Ti, Zn, etc...
The lion was in V, MN, Ag,Se, etc...
Thus tiger has stronger humerus than lion. The study inclues several specimens of each species.

I just posted this data for clarification on tiger bones. I'm just searching about Brown bear bones and minerals in it. I thought you people has some data, if so please post it here...
I'm yet to see a study about Brown bears bones being stronger than tigers.
I've read a study recently saying that tigers have stronger bones in fore quarters than hind quarters.
