Art, I'm glad you mentioned the strength of the bones comparing bears to equally heavy ungulates. No contest! A bear is rather fragile structurally compared to a equal size Hoofed animal.

One difference outside of that I have noticed as well. The mental strength of the Bear is by a fair margin much stronger then the will of a vegan hoofed animal( not pigs).

A few Exceptions come to mind, like Cape Buffalo..... but the vast majority of ungulates do not have that same dare I say almost a vengeful attitude towards humans that Ole Ursus can exhibit!
