Size comparisons

Posted by Panthera ( @pantheracats ) and shared by Onças do Rio Negro project where I found it.
https://www.picuki.com/media/2065335667713403555 '' Differences between the Jaguar ( Onça-Pintada ) and the Leopard by @pantheracats. The jaguar is much bigger, lives only in the Americas and is an "aquatic" cat. In some places it only hunts caimans and fish ( like in Taiamã Reserve ). The leopard despite of being smaller and more tolerant to human presence it is also an African/Asiatic feline and super adapted to tree life, having in some places a diet of monkeys and birds ( like in the Congo forests ). "Sub-species" of the two cats are among the most threatened animals on the planet: the Amur Leopard (@amurleo_land) and the Brazilian Caatinga Jaguar.

UPDATE:
Thanks to @Rishi I manage to update the image of the Indian lion with a better picture, I selected the one where we can see the lion in full side view, here is the result:  *This image is copyright of its original author I also updated the image in the original post and also in the comparative image of ALL the lion subspecies/population.

Ok, ok, a lot of animals!
 @Rishi, about the snow leopard and the clouded leopard, I am preparing a comparative image of each of them, but the measurements are from animals far away of any known tiger population, that and the fact that these animals do not live side-by-side with tigers in the Indian subcontinent, as far I know, I did not included them in the comparative image. However, like I say, I am working on it, but in they own images. About the Asiatic black bear, that will be interesting and been honest I allready searched information about that species but like the others, very few information is available, none from India by the way. Now, I prefered the sloth bear because this last species interact much more with the tigers, while the Asiatic black bear interact only in the northern regions and not in the same degree (number of interactions). However maybe in the future I can create a comparative image of that species. @"OncaAtrox" I was tempted to include the striped hyena and the golden chacal in the comparative image too, but at the end I decided not to do it because of the space and time (I still don't have a good database of size of those animals, just the one of Pocock (1939)). I will like to create a "second part" comparative image that will included not only these two species but maybe also the Marsh crocodile and even the Indian python, but that will take time, so don't wait for it in the near future. Thank you for your feedbacks and ideas guys, believe me I am taking it in count. By the way, @"OncaAtrox" I almost finish with your image of "jaguar-Sunda tiger" comparison.

luke and han aren't fat either..wanna see what raul will look like in a year or two
 
I had some time and put together a size comparison of all known forms of tiger. For extant species, the size was based on Mazak (1981) and some data of @GuateGojira. The average size of a male of each extant (or recently extinct) form is represented. For the fossil tigers, the estimations were based as follows:
