Nice Kodiak; a biological study which confirms what we figured out years ago. "Bears usually attack their victims from the front / Cats tend to attack the victim from the rear or over the shoulder."

One of the favorite things often told by big cat fanboys; "big cats are accomplished killers; bears are not." The thing they don't understand ( or are in denial of ) is the fact that once the adversary is defeated and the fight taken out of him, the bear just flat don't give a flying cow patty whether his adversary is dead or alive. But, at this point, the disabled victim is badly injured. If the adversary was a big cat, then that cat has multiple broken bones and lacerations. He is left unable to hunt. When a bear fights with an adversary or attacks a large prey animal, the bear has no instinctive preset method of killing. In fact, the bear is completely unconcerned as to whether or not his adversary is dead or alive as a result. For this reason, there have been many reports of human survivors of bear attacks. Hugh Glass, as seen on the movie, "The Revenant ( 2015 ) is a prime example. Also, it is not uncommon for a bear to feast upon an ungulate while its still alive. But one thing is clear, the victim of a bear mauling is always left with broken bones and bleeding. Whether or not a bear is capable of killing a man, another large predator, or a large prey animal has been hotly debated. The bear, even a big male brown bear, is often said to be an 'inadequate killer' or an 'unacomplished killer'. Well, this may or may not be true. IMO, a bear punishes his opponent until it gives him no more problems and then, after his adversary has been disabled, the bear simply has no concerns of whether or not the man or beast is still breathing.

Comparing the fighting techniques of the big cats and bears, we find that they are quite different. The big cat is an ambush predator. He knows that his stamina is short-lived, therefore he wants to make a quick kill. As a full-time hunter, he has specific killing strategies - instinctive after roughly 20-million years of cat evolution. 1- cover your adversaries mouth with your mouth and suffocate him. / This will not work on a big male brown bear. 2- bite your adversary on his throat and strangle him. / This will not work on a big male brown bear. 3- bite your adversary on the back of his neck at the base of his skull, breaking the spine. / This will not work on a big male brown bear. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ While the big cat is attempting to make his quick kill, the bears' strategy is to maul the big cat, tearing flesh and breaking bones. The bear will use his weight to subdue the cat until he is too exhausted to fight back. The bear is a mauler and a brawler. If the big cat isn't killed outright during the mauling, he will die soon after because he will be left too disabled to hunt.

"Bears communicate with each other by establishing a hierarchy or pecking order in situations where they encounter each other (Bunnell & Tait 1981; Egbert & Stokes 1976; Herrero 1985; Rogers et al. 1976). It isn’t always size that makes one bear dominant over another, it’s the attitude of the dominant bear, or “alpha,” who is always in charge. Bears communicate their dominance by intimidating their opponent."

Just a quick analysis... Big cat fanatics say "bears are poor fighters in comparison to cats, they don't even paw swipe they only hug and push" but they don't understand bear fighting technique. They do actually grapple and wrestle each other which is more technical than striking and boxing because it allows the fighter to have control over the opponent body. In MMA grappling is more effective than striking. mmachannel.com/grappling-vs-striking-which-is-more-effective/A wrestler beats a boxer most of time in a street fight. sweetscienceoffighting.com/boxing-vs-wrestling/Not to mention bears have plantigrade posture as advantage. So the cat will attempt to strike at the bear but not before it gets grappled and wrestled down by the bear strong forelimbs. Striking doesn't always give you the advantage, we don't live in anime world.

Striking doesn't always give you the advantage, we don't live in anime world. Also note that a bear, especially a brown bear, has a more powerful paw-strike than a big cat. But, bears don't use paw-strikes very often because most of their fighting is with each other. A bear is durable and his body can absorb the impact, therefore he doesn't consider a paw-strike as a very effective means of fighting. Also note, while the cat has soft paws designed for stealth, a bear has very hard paws; like being hit with a shovel.
