SUMMARY

Keplerians, a humanoid species, possess remarkable strength, capable of carrying a black bear weighing up to 600 lbs, which is three times their own weight of 200 lbs. In comparison, Asian elephants can lift substantial weights, including logs weighing up to 300 kg (660 lbs) and haul 3 to 4 tonnes. This discussion raises questions about the comparative strength of Keplerians versus elephants, particularly in terms of their size and load-bearing capabilities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of comparative strength metrics
  • Knowledge of humanoid species characteristics
  • Familiarity with elephant physiology and capabilities
  • Basic grasp of weight and load-bearing concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the biomechanics of humanoid strength
  • Explore the lifting capabilities of various animal species
  • Investigate the physical characteristics of Keplerians
  • Examine the evolutionary adaptations of elephants for strength
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for anthropologists, biologists, and anyone interested in comparative anatomy and strength analysis between humanoid and animal species.

Keplerians, 1 of my humanoid species, are so strong, they can carry a bear with just their muscles.

Humanoid weight: 200 lbs with a lot of muscle mass
Black bear weight: up to 600 lbs, also very muscular

That means they can carry up to 3x their weight. That is very strong.

But would this strength be comparable to an elephant's strength?

I wonder whether your Keplerians are best described as "bear loading", "load bearing" or "bear bearing" humanoids?

Are Keplerians the size of elephants? I could carry a bear if I was 20 times larger.
