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.

That conclution is correct. Big cats over 227 kg can kill prey up to 1,000 kg alone.
About the polar bear, as far I know the biggest prey that they can hunt is the walrus which may weight over 2,000 kg. On the Kodiak bears, I think that the maximum prey are deer species like the Roosevelt elk of up to 500 kg, but no animal in the region is bigger than the bears, so this is a case when the predator is bigger than its prey.
Maximum size of prey that a single male lion or tiger can kill
