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.

This is quite difficult question and how to compare. I mean, that even though we could get results, that some animal is able to move, let´s say 4 times it´s own body weight when weighing 200 kg, it doesn´t mean, that if it would weight 800 kg, that it could still move 4 times it´s own body weight, it could drop to 2-3 times when weight rising. Maybe someone has better information about this, but maybe fairest comparisons are when animals are relatively close what comes to size, not like tiger and gaur for instance, where other one is so much smaller and has advantage in this kind of comparison.
I just have this mental image, that the bigger the animal is, it is weaker in pound to pound comparison, but that doesn´t necessary mean, that it would have weaker muscles than some smaller animal.
