What is the Siberian malamutes height?
The ''Siberian Malamute'' is not a breed, you could be thinking of either Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes (which are two separate breeds). The official Alaskan Malamute breed standard stipulates that it should grow between 23 and 28 inches at the shoulder. The official Siberian Husky breed standard says that it should grow between 20 and 23.5 inches at the shoulder.
Are malamutes endangered?
No! They seem to be endangered because people keep confusing them with huskies. The difference between the two is that malamutes can only have brown eyes and they're bigger. Huskies can only have blue and they're skinnier. If you have one that has one blue eye and one green eye, that means that they're a mix.

How much do Siberian husky Alaskan malamutes weigh?
Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes are two different breeds. They can be many different sizes depending on the mushers' breeding (assuming they're working dogs). Siberian males are usually between 45-60 and females between 35-50 pounds. Malamute males are usually between 75-90 pounds and the females between 65-80 pounds. Many of these dogs can get even bigger depending on what cargo they are hauling or smaller if they are racing, though, typically, you wouldn't race a Siberian or malamute anymore. Mostly just mixes now.

What are the differences between a malamute and a husky?
Alaskan Malamutes *Only have brown eyes *Built for bulk. Not speed *Wider Siberian Huskies *Only have blue eyes (some may also have brown eyes but that's only if they're a mix between Malamutes and Huskies) The information re: eye color in Siberians, above, is absolutely incorrect. The Siberian Husky may have brown, eyes, blue eyes, or eyes that are part brown and part blue. Eye color has nothing to do with whether or not they have been cross-bred with Alaskan Malamutes. There are tremendous differences between the two breeds. For details, visit akc.org and click on Dog Breeds. There, you can research the Official Breed Standard for each breed, and learn the characteristics of each. *Built for speed. Not bulk *Thinner
What kind of dog in Passengers movie?
Blue eyed Huskies are either Siberian Huskies or Mackenzie River Huskies. This dog looks a little large for a Siberian, although 3-4% of Siberians get fairly large (I have one of them). My guess would be that this dog is a Mackenzie River Husky, my reasoning is the larger bone structure of the legs and slight difference in facial structure. But again, it could be a Siberian in that 3-4% category, or a cross with another bread of Husky. Both breads are very eye catching. Mackenzie River Huskies are a little harder to come by. In reality it's more or less an Alaskan Malamute with blue eyes [yes it is possible!!], could even be a mix between Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute. Malamutes are similar to Huskies, but they're much larger, by about 40 to 60 lbs give or take. Malamutes were the original sleddog breed, and are bigger boned and wider gaited than the huskies. They're intended for carrying the bulk of the load. Looking at the dog in the film I'd say a Malamute due to the size of not only its body, but its paws, theyre huge, the Mackenzie river dogs paws typically aren't as large.
What are the 2 differences between a malamute and a husky?

Is the malamute bigger than the husky?
There are no significant differences between Alaskan malamutes and Siberian huskies. However they have slightly different shaped heads and huskies have blue eyes and malamutes have brown eyes. They are bred for exactly the same thing. They are both high energy dogs that are completely nuts but very lovable.... for the right owner. There are major differences between the two breeds. Siberians can have brown, blue, one brown and one blue, or brown-and-blue eyes. Malamutes and Siberians are not bred for "exactly the same thing" at all.
