Bear and bigcats anatomy

Big cats being proportionally muscled all over the body and with potentially higher stamina to fight for longer periods must have started to dominate them with both agility and smartness (or cunning nature). The bears must have got intimidated by the big cats. They understood that they cannot continue being carnivores (as cats have started to be dominant) or being scavengers of other's kills. They instead chose to be omnivores(which is smart, a very good move if you ask me) and retain their body strength through some means like hard work(as @brotherbear said) and feeding on soft tissues. But unfortunately in this process they probably weakened their ability to digest flesh or muscular tissue. Though polar bears do feed on flesh, they seem to struggle. The heart seems to work very hard to pump blood for digesting flesh. That is why their movement is very slow. You can see their slow movement while they hunt prey like seals and try to drag them onto land or trying to transport it in between land masses. They drag a few feet, then stop, gasp, and then move it again slowly, rest in between(even here their movement is slow). They seem to be struggling a lot due to their weak heart. But we can sense the other animals in the snow. They are relatively not as slow as the polar bear. They seem to be active, their gasping is faster, their movement in between the drags is not as slow. Their moves are quick. That explains the mystery of bears which i have been struggling to find out these days!!

To start with ( again ) this has nothing to do with 'Legends and Lore'. Also, your personal theories here are ridiculous. Big cats had absolutely nothing to do with bears being omnivores. Your theories of big cat vs bear muscles are absurd. Your theory concerning stamina is absurd. Your theory of bears having trouble digesting meat is absurd. Reply
