In theory if Tigers are heavier then they should also be taller and longer, right? Did the length and height averages also include Sundarban Tigers or only mainland ones?? If so, then do you have the number for average length and height for mainland Tigers only?

If it does include only mainland ones then it's surprising that Tigers are much heavier despite being less in length and height.

In the images you need to see the measurement method. All those lions that you see as "bigger" than Bengal tigers were measured "along the curves", which means that in a "straight line" they are smaller for at least 10 cm, maybe more.

That is why you need to see all the details in the tables, not only see the numbers. Check also details where it mention that some shoulder heights are not real "heights", so again, please check the details and tell other people to do the same.

About the Bengal, it does includes Sundarbans tigers, all the figures include them to be fair, and I mention it in the details too! So now I am worried that people out there are not paying atention to the details are confused. Reply
