Maybe you can help @Slang Dussain Ali find some accounts where a bear has killed anything with a blow from the paw to match the lions. Since it seems he is struggling to find just 10.
The popular belief that a tiger slinks away should he fail in his attack is erroneous, as also the belief that he can kill his prey by a stroke of the paw. I have never seen anything to support this belief,nor is it held by natives. http://books.google.com/books?id=...sn6oATjjIKQDA&ved=0CAYQ6AEwAA
Mr. Inverarity believes that animals killed by tigers suffer little beyond the panic of a few seconds. The shock produces a stupor and dreaminess in which there is no sense of pain or feeling of terror. The powerful stroke of the fore paw of the tiger is a fiction ; he clutches with his claws as one might with the fingers, but does not strike a blow. http://books.google.com/books?id=...joASa8oKgCA&ved=0CBgQ6AEwCTgU
In some of the old natural history books we were told that both the lion and the tiger killed their prey by breaking the neck with a single blow of their powerful fore-paws,but this is certainly not the method employed by the tiger http://www.google.com/search?q=In...i=3j7EU5auCJCgogSOi4HQBg&sa=N
