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.

How about the molar bite force? Is it greater in bears than cats at equal weights, or is it opposite? Polar bears having a weaker canine bite force than a brown bear, especially at higher weights just doesn't make sense. In my opinion, at weight parity, polar bears should have higher canine bite forces and brown bears should have higher molar bite forces.
Why doesn't that make sense?
I haven't taken a good look at the info but Polar bears have sharper canines so they wouldn't need to have a larger bite force IMO.
