Why do you think a wolf is stronger then a leopard at parity?
Data I posted on another thread showed that the Cougar was stronger than the Grey Wolf, but the Grey Wolf is stronger than a leopard. Why would a Leopard be stronger?
No, that was bone robusticity. That does not mean the wolf is stronger.

@FP A wolf would have a far stronger neck then a cougar or a female leopard, though a male leopard...I'm not sure.

Because they don't have grappling claws, how are they meant to even climb up a tree when their limbs aren't even fully rotational? It certainly could, but it's morphology prevents it.

All people gotta do is take time to read the postcranial morphology thread instead of arguing off the top of their heads.

That was a limb robusticity study.

Explain how a Male Leopards neck would be any stronger than a Wolves.

No, they are too immobile, learn the difference.

Instead of going on and on about this post (postcranial morphology) why not pick some relevant infomation from that post and use it in your argumant.

Also the title of this post is Who's stronger and most capable in a fight at parity?
Well if a dog gets knocked off its feet any advantage you may think it had has gone, so the answer will always be Cats.

You don't even have proof to back your case yet you want him to show proof?

I would, but you being the cat fan you are would ignore it and keep spouting bullshit. So instead of wasting anymore of my time on your flawed bias logic and the fact you try to twist everything that doesnt support cat supremacy., I'm just gonna do myself a favor and put you on ignore. Have a nice day.

If your idea of strength is how mobile limbs are and how they can grapple, then humans must be the most muscular things on the planet

Exactly! Most members confuse strength for versality and flexibility lol

canids muscle type is good for endurance, cats muscle type is good for big power for a short time.

candis = marathon runner
felines = sprinter

You know that comp is stupid right? All humans have the same muscle fiber types. A marathon runners muscles is no different from a sprinters.
