That height is suggestive, as the carcass was stiff for two days. We can guess that was taken from shoulder to wrist (not to paw), and shows that Waghdow was about 1 meter high at shoulders, which is "average" but not small. Check the height of tiger "Ali", the largest Bengal tiger that Mazák measured:

By the way, a secondary source indirectly suggest that "Ali" weighed 265 kg, but I am unable to found the original source. Interesting, this is not mentioned in the book of Mazák "Der Tiger" but apparently it is mentioned in another book  also from him: Maz

Maybe someone can found the original paper and confirm the figure.
