The tallest lion, standing height up to shoulders is at 114 cm, while an average lion is a slightly above a meter tall at shoulders, while standing. I believe there are also lion reaching 120 cm, but exceptions like Angus MacAskill (largest non pathological human?) or someone with gigantism (hormonal issue)).

Actually no, 120 cm (or now 130 cm) for Smilodon populator is stainding height.

The figure that is incorrect is the often quoted height for the lion. No wild lion, ever, had a height like that. The maximum is 114 cm or probably a little less in the real maximum standing height.

Exceptional captive animals are exceptions and we can ignore them.

Yes, 120 cm for S. populator is accurate, analogous to a lion/tiger of 110 cm, while standing. Is diet have to do something with height of captive animals? I believe yes or just gigantism, I've read about a bengal tiger of 118 cm standing height, tallest. I know that humans will reach full potential if they are fed with a balanced diet, especially during/prior to puberty, if they are malnourished during growing years, their growth will be stunted, Mostly depending on genetics.
