I got curious and Googled around, and it looks like bears might actually be weaker than tigers, at least in terms of what they can lift. The numbers I found were of bears lifting 500kg/0.8 times body weight, and tigers lifting 550kg/twice body weight. Still, “strength of a bear” is clean and easily understandable, so I suspect I’m taking this too literally and I’m sorry.
Similarly, while Lions may be the ‘King Of Beasts’ and the advantage in fiction usually goes to them, in real tiger-lion fights the tiger usually kicks the lion to the curb.
What fan service, Jeff & Shaenon! With all the “ME” too comments yesterday, many would have been disappointed if Unity DIDN’T at least attack off-screen.
Yeah, ask Lim-Lim how that “strength of a bear” thing holds up against Unity.
… and the headache of Sweetheart after a margarita bathtub?
“Curses! Undone by the one thing I couldn’t bear to remove! The human capacity to ignore imminent survival concerns in favor of frippery!”
Bravestar reference in the dialogue!!!
Shoulda brought Thirty-Thirty’s gun to the paw fight.

Especially a “super” mouth.
Has the eyes of an eagle, but wears glasses? Maybe it’s just the color-vision (or lack thereof) of an eagle.
[Hawk, not eagle. Close enough.]
Maybe they’re decorative glasses?
If all she got was color vision, then she should have used a stomatopod for that.
Are hawks long-sighted?
Those do look like they might be reading glasses.
Maybe they’re just for aesthetics
Hawks are very farsighted. Spotting a rabbit at 300 yards, fine. At 3 yards, not so much.
At least we know she didn’t get the eyes of a tiger.
Robert Nowall: Surely we already knew that? A tiger’s eyes aren’t white.
But didn’t H. T. have the same eye trouble?
There’s a lot we don’t know about H.T.. If this ever changes, we may find out where he did get those eyes.
“Jeepers creepers, where’d you get those peepers? / Jeepers creepers, where’d you get those eyes?”
“WA-POW.” Campy Batman Lives!
To quote Xykon, to win you just need overwhelming power and style, and in a pinch, style can slide.
You’d think with all those super senses she might have noticed that Unity is not exactly ordinary, either…

Thanks, lizard for looking that up. I’d been wondering at the tiger::bear strength comparison, too!

and only the tail was left of her
also called it!

Obviously, they left out Speed of the Puma.
And the running away of the Weasel Patrol!
I love Unity’s response! She is my hero.
He has reflexes of steel! He is stealthy like the moose!
I guess we’ve learned that Speed of the Puma is not match for Speed of the Zombie.
Good to know, good to know.
