How would you list them in order? I have no problem in saying that I am clueless when looking at this chart.

I rewrite, my first answer was sloppy.

So first BM is weight of an animal. BF ca looks like to be niting force with canines and then BF carn "inside" in mouth, like when getting a real good bite and for instance crashing bones of carcass. 
BFQ ca and BFQ carn gives pound to pound relative strength, higher number is better there.

So polar bear, tiger, brown bear and lion seem to be top 4, with brown bear and lion there is interesting, that brown bear has stronger force with canines and lion in that other figure. 
Jaguar is interesting also, not quite there where people are used to see it. I mean tiger and lion beat it also in relative strength figures. Reply
