Pantanal Jaguar - Panthera onca palustris
The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar's present range extends from Southern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. A study of the Jaguar in the Brazilian Pantanal region found average weights of 100 kilograms (220 lb) and weights of 136 kilograms (300 lb) or more are not uncommon in old males. A short and stocky limb structure makes the jaguar adept at climbing, crawling and swimming. The head is robust and the jaw extremely powerful. The jaguar hunts wild animals weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 lb) in dense jungle, and its short and sturdy physique is thus an adaptation to its prey and environment.

Gobi Bear - Ursus arctos gobiensis
The Gobi bear, Ursus arctos gobiensis is a subspecies of the brown bear, Ursus arctos, that is found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. It is listed as critically endangered by Mongolian Redbook of Endangered Species and by the Zoological Society of London using IUCN standards, the population included less than 50 adults and were separated by enough distance. Gobi bears mainly eat roots, berries, and other plants, sometimes rodents, there were no evidence that they ate large mammals. Small compared to other brown bear subspecies, adult males weigh 96 – 138 kg (212 - 304 lb) and females 51‐78 kg (112 - 172 lb). The Gobi brown bear is sometimes classified as being of the same subspecies as the Tibetan blue bear; this is based on morphological similarities, and the belief that the desert-dwelling Gobi bear represents a relict population of the blue bear. However, the Gobi bear is sometimes classified as its own subspecies, and closely resembles other Asian brown bears.
*Note: in weighing bears, biologists consider all who are sexuially mature. By this standard, 13 year old boys would be considered as grown men.
Male Gobi bear ( 10 years old - 155 kg. ) - 341.72 pounds. Older bears are even heavier.
Pantanal Jaguar - 220 pounds. Weights of 136 kilograms (300 lb) or more are not uncommon in old males.
