There's nothing to scale that can give us an idea to estimate their size so we will never know about these two specimens, here the tiger is longer in TBL but the bear is taller and looks considerably heavier, that's all it matters

Not true! Now look at this, the Bear is 9.3 units in HB length while the Tiger is only 9 units AND the Bear’s neck is not even straightened out which means the real HB length of the Bear would be even longer so this Bear is clearly longer than this Amur Tiger.

In reality, the average Amur Tigers are supposed to be longer than average Ussuri Brown Bears but this Bear is longer than this Tiger which means either this Tiger is a small one or the Bear is a big one or both.

The Bear would only be 9 units and that's including his puffy fur while the Tiger would also be 9 with less fur. You must take into account the Tigers head is tilted away from the picture, when it's straightened like the Bears the length would increase. You can also see more articulation in the Tigers neck, but both are very close in length but still I'd give the advantage to the Tiger in HBL when measured between the pegs.

The Bear’s head is also lowered down. And if the Bear straightens it’s head, it’s length will increase by upto 0.8 units. The Tiger’s length would only increase about 0.5 units if the Tiger straightens his head.

And the Tiger is only 8 units. The puffy fur does not really matter because we know that the literature figures for the length of the Bear were also taken with ‘the puffy fur’. So that fur is irrelevant.

But his neck is fully extended, remember, between the pegs the animal is laid flat and straightened but not extended. The Tiger on the other hand has shortened it's neck and turned it's head. Puffy fur matters for your comparison because you're using the outline of it to determine length where if they were measured correctly the body length would be pressed flat against the skin not the fur. 
The Tiger is 8.75 units with a shortened neck and head turned to the side *Notice the nose still creeps over and the rump goes past another .5 unit, the Tiger certainly would be slightly over 9 Reply
