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.

I made this comparison some times ago on a different forum, I'll copy it here for backup.

   
I scaled several Carnivorans' humeri to similar length, so that their robusticity and muscle attachments points could be compared in relative terms.

Sources:
Ursus spelaeus
Ursus maritimus
Amphicyon ingens
Ursus arctos (Pleistocene)
Smilodon populator and Panthera tigris altaica
Arctodus simus and Ursus arctos gyas
Machairodus lahayishupup
Panthera spelaea
