I would like to think that grizzlies have a stronger bite than polar bears but I could be wrong.

I would say a large polar bear has a stronger bite than a smaller grizzly while a large brown bear has a stronger crushing bite than the creamy translucent fired bear with black skin.

Wow! The polar bear skeleton looks strong and robust.

www.kidzone.ws/sg/polarbear/polar_bear.htmIt seems that polar bears just like brown bears can carry large amounts of weight without stress problems and they have faster metabolism that we do. Plus they can grown to full size very quickly if there are lots of food. This source debunks the opinions of these whom think polar bears are just fat. Their fat and thick fur is to protect them from the cold but they have denser bones than big cats (extant and extinct) to be able to sustain great weight not to mention powerful muscles and forearms. It is evident brown bears have dense bones since polar bears come from brown bears.

Nice find there OldBlue. We have seen now several articles of how the study of bears are helping to solve some medical problems like diabetes and heart disease. The bear’s saliva was also studied to cure some infections.

Estimating a larger polar bear has stronger jaws than a smaller lion and a smilodon (bite is 1/3 that of a lion): Credited to Verdugo carnivora.net/showthread.php?tid=5502Now a smilodon has more robust limbs than a lion but its bite force is weaker than a lion. Since an average polar bear has stronger jaws than an average lion, its jaws would also be stronger than a smilodon.

Good report OldBlue. It is known that Agriotherium Africanum had the strongest bite force of any bear specie in history.
A 2011 estimate that compared the bites of a few selected bears, both extant and extinct, concluded that Agriotherium had the strongest bite-force of any mammalian land-predator yet estimated.[2]

Newborn
When polar bears are born, they are blind, fuzzy and toothless, and weigh about a pound. They look a lot like a big white rat or a Samoyed puppy. For the first couple of months, all they do is snuggle close to the sow bear for warmth, and nurse. By the time they leave the den at about 2 months old, they weigh close to 35 pounds and are sprouting canine teeth. Toddler
Polar bear cubs stay with their mother for the two years they need to acquire the hunting skills to survive on their own. When they're old enough to fend for themselves, ready or not, their mother runs them off and starts looking for a new boyfriend. As a sow breeds only every third year, she can have only three or four litters (twins are usual, but singletons happen) or not more than eight cubs in her life, a very low reproductive rate. Teenager
Just like people, polar bear girls grow up faster than boys. Sows are sexually mature at age 4. Boars start getting ideas at about 5 or 6, but don't get to do much about it for some years, as the big guys are more attractive to the ladies and get most of the action. All Grown Up
A polar bear, male or female, is fully adult when capable of surviving and reproducing. Sows remain fertile until their early 20s, and sometimes longer. Boars get as big as they're likely to get and start to be serious contenders in the mating game at about 10; they can sire cubs until 19 or so. animals.mom.me/polar-bear-adult-3113.html

Another confirmation that polar bears do have strong and powerful limb muscles.
