But if a man can pull 188tons of plane, he can at least budge the carcass, but we are talking about .001% of the entire human population compared to an averaged sized bear.

Yeah, budge the carcass half an inch, but not any more.

387-kg times 3 = 1161-kg or 2559 pounds, which is more than a US ton. A bear would still struggle with the carcass upwards, since the carcass is obviously not a barbell where all the weight is symmetrical; the head, neck, and behind portions of the carcass would droop lower than the abdomen (if the bear carried it there). Unequal weights are often harder to pull up.

So yes, an 85-kg brown bear can vertically-drag that carcass on a ledge, but with very extreme struggle. Reply
