While an American Black Bear would lose toa Jaguar, the ursine does have strength to tear down old trees.
They can also flip large rocks, though that is a small feat compared to tearing down withered out tree trunks.

Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk I actually do not disagree with your list. The small parts I would change: -lion and tiger should be in the same strength level -leopard and cougar should also be incorporated on this list |

Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk A Mexican jaguar is on record killing a black bear, though it was an ambush. If forced to fight it's a tossup, black bears get the "it's a bear" advantage but other than that they have just about nothing. |

-leopard and cougar should also be incorporated on this list Whereabouts? Sent from my SM-A105FN using Tapatalk Here is an updated list: 1. Polar bear 2. Brown bear 3. African lion/Bengal or Siberian tiger 5. Asiatic Black bear 6. Sloth Bear 7. Jaguar/American Black bear 8. Leopard/Cougar/Sun bear 9. Green anaconda 10. Spotted Hyena (?) While there are some rare cases of constrictor snakes managing to ambush powerful predators, constrictors lose in full on fights. Ocelot kills anaconda. Account of a Burmese python that was killed by a similar sized or smaller bobcat " On 17 December 2019, we tracked a telemetered python (previously measured to be 3.1 m in total length with a weight of 14.7 kg) to a hollow Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich (Bald Cypress). We noted that the python was disturbed but not handled by the observers, appeared to be in good condition, and had a blue tinge indicating the beginning of ecdysis (shedding cycle). During the subsequent routine field check on 31 December 2019, we located the remains of the study animal 228 m from the previous sighting. Based on the amount of decay, we estimated the carcass to be less than 1 week old. The posterior third of the python’s skeleton and 1 of its 2 VHF radio transmitters were found in a Bald Cypress stand. Scattered portions of the vertebral column and several severed rib bones were pressed into the substrate. These remains were found 2 m away from a disturbed cache site (cypress duff raked into a pile typical of feline kills) and a felid scrape, which is recognizable by 2 parallel claw scratches in the duff. Due to its size,we determined this scrape to have been made by a Bobcat; a Florida Panther scrape would have been 2–3 times the size of the scrape observed. Thus, we assumed this python was attacked by a Bobcat." source: McCollister, Matthew F., et al. "Native mammalian predators can depredate adult Burmese pythons in Florida."

A spotted hyena has little chance against a green anaconda, sadly. It runs into similar issues as gripping dogs.
Surprised on the bobcat nailing the burmese python, definitely not the norm. Even panthers don't really mess with pythons. Only gators go for them, they like to prey on snakes and they have a field day with the pythons.
