behind the big cat's and bear's, who is the top predator?

[Shadow]

This thread is pure "in my opinion" thread. It depends so much what different people prefer. One like cats, some other canines etc. 

And in what way it can be said, that tigers, lions or bears would be top predators in any other way than it, that they happen to be biggest? There are animals, which are way more successful hunters than any of these "top predators". Naturally they are all on top of the food chain and in that way on top.

But since this thing is once again very subjective overall, it would be more interesting, imo, to see always some thoughts, when some animal is mentioned. Not text in which is tried to prove why some animal would be better than others which is impossible, but more what things make it special in the eyes of you, whoever is posting about some species. Don´t just put some species and then no explanation why, those give nothing really.

And remember same time, that in this thread there will never be one final answer. Only way to put animals in some kind of order in some way is to give some specific thing to determine in what way it´s better than others. And even then it´s often difficult, when there is controversial information. Reply
