Bear Strength

[Roberto]

Here Peter confirms, based on and his own personal experience, that even at similar size,  brown bears have more robust skeletons than tigers. Also, longer and heavier skulls. Tigers have it wider at the arches.

PETER
I've seen skeletons of both species next to each other. There's no question that skeletons of brown bears, even if the big cat and the bear are similar in size, are more robust. In the skull department, it's a close call. Bears have a somewhat longer and heavier skull, but tiger skulls are close and they're wider at the arches. Tiger also have significantly longer canines.
