Bear Strength

[GreenGrolar]

Johnny Rex, I understand where you are coming from now. I totally agree that almost all species of  lions, tigers, leopards, wolves etc can kill humans too. However, I was referring to felines and canines as a whole. Most of the weasel family are too small to kill humans except the wolverine and honey badger plus there are some felines (e.g. house cats, African wild cats, scottish wild cats, black footed cat etc)  and canines (foxes, maned wolves) too small to kill humans. Hope we can come to an understanding here and I apologies for any misunderstanding.
Back to topic, bears do have good grappling techniques and powerful shoulder muscles. More info:

Strong muscles.

Bears are the bully-boys of the animal kingdom. Their strength is mainly in the muscles of their legs and shoulders. Unlike cats and dogs, which run on their toes for speed, bears walk on the flat soles of their broad feet, just as humans do. What bears lack in speed they make up for strength. Their powerful, mobile limbs can be put to good use digging, climbing, fishing, and fighting. They will attack others of their own kind and defend themselves ably from enemies. In a fight, a bear can do considerable danage an survives by sheer brute force. Male bears are generally much larger than females of the same species.
