The Jaguar's (Panthera Onca) name, quite literally, means "The cat which kills its prey with a single bound". It is the only cat that kills it's prey with a bite to the skull rather than the neck.

Contary to popular belief, the Lion (Panthera Leo) seen 'roaring' at the beginning of the MGM films is not roaring at all, but in fact snarling. A lion's real roar is much deeper and lower in tone, and is used to advertise the pride.

Don't ask what this Lion is doing.

The word Moose (Alces alces), quite literally, means "Eater of twigs".

Even though he may only be a foot higher than her, a male Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei) is well over twice the weight of a female.

The 'Death Roll' of the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is the alternative approach of chewing, which crocodilians can't do.

no, the death roll is to rip peices of meat off the carcass,  that is not "chewing"

you did, by saying that the death roll is an altenative to chewing.

Contradiction at it's finest. Once again, I did not say that the death roll is the same as chewing.
