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 don't have any links to the forearm strength of a tiger, but I do have a suggestive scientific study relating to the pushing and pulling force of young brown bears: it is on the "Bear Strength" thread.

And about your muscle fiber comment from post #88, tigers do, of course, contain mainly fast-twitch fibers in all parts of their arm, not just the upper arm (hence why their forearm is quite thick), and bears somewhat. Fast-twitch fibers, at the same mass, are more voluminous than slow-twitch fibers. This fact can even be seen in humans.

At the same weight, a powerlifter will normally have a thicker arm than a normal human. This is because:

- They have slightly more muscle mass (slightly increased muscle volume).
- More of their muscle mass is fast-twitch fibers (extremely increased muscle volume).
