Tiger and Gorilla

"Here, a skeletal representation of both a Siberian tiger and an Eastern Lowland Gorilla, with the latter 150-pounds heavier, are displayed here facing each other. It is as if both animals (or skeletons rather, hehe!) are preparing to fight in a match-off."

"Even though the tiger is lower in weight, it still possesses particularly thicker bones than the gorilla; this is most evident in the forearm and spinal/vertebra bones. Felines, and every carnivore in general, require thick vertebrae bones to do back-bending movements and to wrestle prey down with a lesser chance of back injury. Although gorillas are known for their extremely strong backs and forearms, those of the tiger have a much more apparent mark from their usage as evidenced on the bone." Reply
