![]() But that's a more favourable ratio than the previous 70kg male Puma Vs 315kg male Rocky Mountains Elk poll. The Jaguar is outmatched when it comes to weight about 3.5 times. ![]() Let's use a 80kg male Jaguar against a 325kg male Roosevelt Elk. Adult males are typically 40% larger than their female counterparts and weigh on average 320 - 331 kg (705 - 730 lb)." Male elk often make loud and highly distinct sounds, known as bugling, that can be heard over very long distances. Roosevelt elk live inside forests on flat and steep terrain, but often venture out along the edges of the water where they feed on grass and woody plants. They are characterized by their dark and bulky necks and the bulls often have large, branching antlers. "Also known as the Olympic elk, the Roosevelt elk is one of the largest deer species in North America and the largest subspecies of American Elk. Roosevelt elk are also known to eat blueberries, mushrooms, lichens, and salmonberries. During winter months, they feed on woody plants, including highbush cranberry, elderberry, devil's club, and newly planted seedlings (Douglas-fir and western redcedar). From late spring to early fall, Roosevelt elk feed on herbaceous plants, such as grasses and sedges. Some mature bulls from Raspberry Island in Alaska have weighed nearly 1300 lb (600 kg). Elk bulls generally weigh between 7 lb (300–500 kg), while cows weigh 575–625 lb (260–285 kg). Adults grow to around 6–10 ft (1.8–3 m) in length and stand 2.5–5.6 ft (0.75–1.7 m) tall at the wither. The desire to protect the elk was one of the primary forces behind the establishment of the Mount Olympus National Monument (later Olympic National Park) in 1909. They live in the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest and were introduced to Kodiak, Alaska's Afognak and Raspberry Islands in 1928. The Roosevelt elk ( Cervus canadensis roosevelti), also known as Olympic elk, is the largest of the four surviving subspecies of elk in North America. Roosevelt Elk - Cervus canadensis roosevelti Weights of jaguars are normally in the range of 56–96 kg (123–212 lb). The jaguar stands 63 to 76 cm (25 to 30 in) tall at the shoulders. Legs are also short, but thick and powerful, considerably shorter when compared to a small tiger or lion in a similar weight range. Jaguars also have rounder heads and shorter, stockier limbs compared to leopards. While the jaguar closely resembles the leopard, it is generally sturdier and heavier, and the two animals can be distinguished by their rosettes: the rosettes on a jaguar's coat are larger, fewer in number, usually darker, and have thicker lines and small spots in the middle that the leopard lacks. The jaguar's present range extends from Southern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar ( Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas.
